With respect, all the Americans living on the USA coast are at similar risk, not to mention those living “off the land”, AKA farmers, inland in many areas. The only difference is they can’t be identified with the same group distinction of “native”; but there are many more of them.

Two things differentiate the populations of natives from the rest of coastal residents and farmers. One:

Two:

It’s also much more difficult for reservation-bound people to relocate when their land is threatened by natural disasters, according to the study.

Those are in the article linked above.
