5 more Attawapiskat youth attempt suicide, chief says

We have zero moral authority while we continue, as a nation, to ignore this.

instead of charging in on their (metaphorical) white horses to give them what the government thinks they need.

And that has been the problem. White people telling First Nations people what they need and what will help them.
