Nunavut’s suicide epidemic has claimed another victim.
That by itself isn’t shocking.
Last year was the worst on record for suicide in the territory with 45.
But this one is shocking considering the age of the deceased.

Realities like these seem far from reality to many yet sadly it is very real. 45 suicides in one year indicates a severe caustic mental landscape which needs major inquiry and major love. What can I:we do to ignite change.
So sad. I don’t know what the solution is, but I am pretty sure that if I had children and I lived there, I would have to get out and try to find a good life somewhere else. If there is little opportunity for anybody, then there is little reason to stay. Our children need us to do what is necessary, no matter how hard it may be for us to do it. At least they may have a fighting chance.
Our children are so lost between two cultores and the dominant offers them nothing and the traditional one cannot feed them. But, do not worry the government does not care, just another step in the much wanted extinction.
