Foreword (IN: Suicide in Canada, edited by A A Leenaars, S Wenckstern, I Sakinofsky, R J Dyck, M J Kral & R C Bland)

A 66 year-old Inuit man from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, discusses the problem of youth suicide among his people. He describes how the culture has changed & how there were fewer suicides in the past. He states that while there are many resources available to help the community, it is the people themselves, who must take action. Utilizing Inuit culture is suggested as a means of suicide prevention.
