Abstract Among Innu of Davis Inlet, Newfoundland, suicide rates are 178 per 100,000 people, whereas the overall Canadian rate is 12 per 100,000. In B.C., "Aboriginal boys and girls aged 10-19 years are 8 and 20 times more likely, respectively, to commit suicide than their non-aboriginal counterparts; the suicide rate for aboriginals in the 20s is even higher." ... "Psychologist Michael Chandler (UBC) also believes the answer lies in empowerment. Not all native groups in Canada have high suicide rates, he notes. 'Some communities have rates 800 times the national average, while in others suicide is essentially unknown.' Chandler and his colleague Christopher Lalonde suggest that it depends on how muhc control the aboriginal groups have. In a study of 196 native Canadian bands, those communities with some degree of self-government had a mean youth suicide rate of 18.2 per 100,000; those without any self government had a rate of 121.0 per 100,000."
