Check out this fascinating display of information about quality of life across the nation. The single index combines three factors: long, healthy life, access to knowledge, and standard of living. Minnesota does quite well: 5.74 with the highest state figure at 6.30. (Clearly snow in April is not part of the calculations.)
No doubt this index is linked in some way to notions of American Dreams of a "good life."
Anticipating our next focus on Black Elk and our general reading about Native Americans in the 19th century, I looked at the "stacks" page and discovered that Native American men have the lowest number by far: less than 3 on a scale up to 10.
