We have not found any government support to talk about racism at all. But I must confess that we have so many crises in the north that this isn't one of the priorities at the moment. We haven't looked hard for it, but we would love to see it, if there is any.
I couldn't agree more...and this is an offer to help, if you're interested in getting the right stats out there. Everything you said about that absolutely resonates with us.
I'll just give you one example: teenage suicide. People say aboriginal teenage suicide is seven times higher than regular Canadian suicides. Well, if you disaggregate for Inuit, it's 18 times higher. I don't know a single Inuit family that hasn't had a teenage suicide. Just imagine that in your own life. That is one example; I could give you all kinds of them.
The situation in the north is at a crisis level, and Canadians don't know it. The reason Canadians don't know it is because of stats.
