What will come of this? More guilt, more money, more depression, more neglected kids, more suicides.

Whatever we have been doing to “help” the native population, it has not been working. More of the same will only make it worse.

More than three times the number of Aboriginal children are in state care today than at the height of residential school operations.

While making up only 7.7% of the population, Native children represent 52.2% of those in foster care.

Among First Nations people living on reserve, the suicide rate was about twice as high as that among those living off reserve.
