Do any of the other countries have Native communities living in Third World conditions with either bad water, little water or even no water?

I always find it hilarious that anyone ranks Canada in any First World metric when everyone just glosses over the fact that portions of the population live in complete poverty by design.

Canada rank 31 in potable water. Not great but notable countries with worst ranking include:

Greese

Norway

Japan

USA

Switzerland

Italy

That's a bit misleading. The same table says that 99.04% of the population of Canada has access to clean water. Those 30 ahead of us are only ahead by decimals of a percentage point.
