A child takes her own life as suicide pact shakes indigenous Canadian community






By Samantha Schmidt June 23


The three 12-year-old girls made a pact: They would all take their own lives.
They lived in Wapekeka First Nation, an isolated community of less than 400 people in the boreal forest of northwestern Ontario, Canada. The Oji-Cree community — which can only be reached by aircraft — is one of many indigenous groups in the region plagued by high rates of suicide over the years and lacking the necessary funds to address the crisis.
So when local leaders learned about the girls’ suicide pact, they immediately pleaded with the federal government for health funding and suicide prevention help. But their requests were turned down.

Yeah, baby!

Is the wapo still in existance after all the fake news incidents they have promogulated lately...?
Most of those people turns out were NOT guilty of what the fake news posthole said they were

Suicide looks very different in Native communities than it does in the general population. Nationally, suicide tends to skew middle-aged (and white); but among Native Americans, 40 percent of those who die by suicide are between the ages of 15 and 24. And among young adults ages 18 to 24, Native American have higher rates of suicide than any other ethnicity, and higher than the general population.

A new report, published by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, highlights what Native American health experts have long known: Suicide among Native youth is a crisis, and one that is not receiving the attention it needs.

My friends cousin was one of the girls in La Ronge, sk whom killed herself. She was 11. I didn't even know the word suicide let alone the concept that you would/could kill yourself.

If they were anyone else' children, this would have had as much funding as needed with as many people needed put in place.

The hopelessness these children feel at this age is incomprehensible to me.

oh and the solution? treat this people like they;re people. Stop turning our backs on them and treating them like lepers.

these are children...our children.
