In this vital and incisive work, bestselling and award-winning author Tanya Talaga explores the alarming rise of youth suicide in Indigenous communities in Canada and beyond. From Northern Ontario to Nunavut, Norway, Brazil, Australia, and the United States, the Indigenous experience in colonized nations is startlingly similar and deeply disturbing. It is an experience marked by the violent separation of Peoples from the land, the separation of families, and the separation of individuals from traditional ways of life, all of which has culminated in a spiritual separation that has had an enduring impact on generations of Indigenous children. As a result of this colonial legacy, too many communities today lack access to the basic determinants of health, income, employment, education, a safe environment, health services, leading to a mental health and youth suicide crisis on a global scale. But, Talaga reminds us, First Peoples also share a history of resistance, resilience, and civil rights activism, from the Occupation of Alcatraz led by the Indians of All Tribes, to the Northern Ontario Stirland Lake Quiet Riot, to the Standing Rock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, which united Indigenous Nations from across Turtle Island in solidarity.--… (altro)

To the person who is struggling at this moment:
We can choose
to continue to think of ourselves as victims and always look to justify our own fears and inadequacies and our own failings by blaming colonialism, or residential schools, or government paternalism, or other realities of our past.
We can also decide, if we choose to do so, that this is a way of thinking that is no longer useful for us as we look to the future. These factors were certainly part of our past, but it is a past which we have struggled to overcome, and the reality is that we have overcome them. It is no longer useful for us as individuals, as communities, and ultimately as a Nation to remain stuck in a way of thinking which does not reflect the possibilities for the future. -- Matthew Coon Come, Grand Chief, Grand Council of the Crees (1987-1999, 2009-2017), The People's Inquiry, Mushkegowuk Council, 2016 ------------------------------------- But don't say in the years to come that you would have lived your life differently if only you had heard this story. You've heard it now. -- Thomas King, The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative, CBC Massey Lectures, 2003
