Aboriginal Suicide is Different
Aboriginal suicide has different wellsprings, histories, sociologies, patterns, and even rituals. It is qualitatively different, and needs to be viewed and responded to differently. We cannot regard this behaviour as merely a part of the national youth suicide problem. To do so will certainly obfuscate this particular issue, would probably bury it, and would culminate soon enough in a regret or lament that yet another costly national approach to "prevention" or alleviation had failed to "take" in Aboriginal communities. This document is a sociological discussion of aboriginal suicide.
