American Indians in Minnesota die from injuries at higher rates than any other racial or ethnic group in the state, the Minnesota Health Department reported yesterday.

The report looked at 21,000 residents who died in the past decade. The Indian Health Board plans to hold forums, meet with Indians and work with elders to address health concerns.
