Has anyone else studies this topic?

If not it's kind of a catch 22 for the tribe, isn't it? Nobody wants to fund research on the topic, so when they fund research on it it's presumed invalid because of bias?

This comment ignores the problem and seems to imply that we should accept a bad paper because the tribe is a victim of some kind.

How does that address the harm done by basing decisions on bad science?
