In this 48-page report, Hrdlička investigates the increasing incidence of tuberculosis among various Native American tribes, including the Oglala Sioux and the Mohave. He notes that tuberculosis was either absent or extremely rare among these populations prior to European contact, citing the lack of historical references, traditional remedies, and physical evidence in pre-Columbian remains
