SUICIDE REPORT OUT ON TUESDAY Chronicle Journal Thunder Bay Ontario July 19, 1996 The final report of the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation's youth forum on suicide will be released Tuesday by the moose Cree First Nation in Moose Factory. The report is significant not only for the issue it addresses, but for the way First Nations peoples investigated the problem. Traditionally, decisions are made by leaders and elders. Because of the high rate of suicides among young people in aboriginal communities, NAN leaders decided to form a committee of young people to recommend ways to prevent more deaths. The study, which has taken several years to complete, has involved meetings, information sessions and training with hundreds of native and non-native people in Northern Ontario. submitted by Lynne Moss-Sharman The Stone Angels Thunder
