✊❤ In solidarity with our #FirstNations relatives in #Attawapiskat our family sends you our deepest condolences for the desperate situation you are facing. The worst possible nightmare for a parent is to lose a child, and our hearts are heavy learning that 101 suicide attempts have occurred since last fall-- 11 attempts in one day! Over 1,000 homes in the Attawapiskat community have no running water, 80% unemployment rate, and a nearby hydrodevelopment has wreaked havoc on their way of life regularly flooding their traditional lands. According to the Guardian, "In Canada, suicides and self-inflicted injuries rank as the leading cause of death for First Nations people 44 years and under." Hold your head up my sisters and brothers. Don't give up. #nativesunite #unitedNatives
