Not saying that I am excusing many of the issues. I am just wondering if its a "tipping" point type thing for the amount of suicides. Perhaps even the lack of self worth overall that contributes to many of the other issues.

I am not saying it would be a magic pill.
But you know what.. it might be a magic pill. Heck just telling a group of people that HEY... there is a magic fix and we are giving it to you, helps bring people out of the sense of hopelessness and perhaps energizes.
agreed that the leaders need to lead.
I would like to see huge green houses set up on these remote reserves as job one.

BINGO! on your first block post. Similar to what I was expressing in that other post.
DeanK, do us all a favour... Stay out of any and all politics. You're a danger to us.

Why can't the reserves work together as a collective to improve their very lot in life. Like the Hutterite colonies for instance...

Why? Because I force people to think outside the box and question reality as its been forced on them?
the winnipeg sandbox » winnipeg sandbox.. » science & medical... » could this be a contributing cause to high instances of suicide on reserves?
