Forced Sterilization of Indigenous Women | Indian Health Service History

In the 1960s and 70s, the U.S. Indian Health Service sterilized thousands of Native women. Many were misled into signing consent forms, pressured during childbirth, or operated on without ever being told the procedure was permanent. Investigations later revealed that in some communities, as many as half of women of childbearing age were sterilized. These sterilizations weren’t isolated—they echoed a long history of U.S. policies aimed at dismantling Native families, from boarding schools to land seizures. Framed as health care, it was really population control. One fact often left out: even after new federal guidelines were introduced in 1979, loopholes allowed coercive sterilizations to continue into the early 1980s, leaving Native activists fighting for accountability long after the scandal broke. 👉 Subscribe to Buried Medicine, comment your thoughts, and share this video—because these stories were never meant to stay buried. #BuriedMedicine #HiddenHistory #MedicalApartheid #NativeHistory #IndigenousWomen #ReproductiveJustice #HealthEquity #ForcedSterilization #Eugenics #MedicalRacism #SystemicRacism #AmericanHistory #MedicalHistory #InstitutionalBetrayal #ErasedHistory #CivilRightsHistory #DisabilityHistory #TruthInHistory #ForgottenStories #PopulationControl #IndigenousRights #medicalapartheid Forced Sterilization of Native Women The Program That Cut Futures Short Buried History of Control
