“A lack of an integrated health-care system, poor education by provincial standards and a largely absent community infrastructure are uniquely positioned against the backdrop of colonialism, racism and social exclusion….”
In my opinion, the coroner correctly identified the missing elements in the community needed in order to make it effectively functional, but to suggest the primary causes are "colonialism, racism and social exclusion" is rather disingenuous and a tepid interpretation of why isolated Northern reserves such as this one are in such a dismal situation. I would expect that there are enough well paid politicians, bureaucrats, FN chiefs and elders, and those who prospering from the "Aboriginal Industry" who can come up with a plan to help these people....throwing more money at this issue is not the solution either....it's time to stop the blame game and tippy toeing around the inconvenient truth....
