Canada's Indigenous call for national suicide strategy | News | Al Jazeera: Indigenous leaders in Canada are calling for a national strategy to combat a suicide crisis in their communities, after two 12-year-old girls committed suicide earlier this month.
Wapekeka First Nation in northern Ontario is "in a state of shock, grief, and crisis" after Jolynn Winter and Chantel Fox, both 12, died after committing suicide on Jan. 8 and 10, respectively.
Local leaders say they discovered that several youth in the fly-in, Oji-Cree community had entered into a "suicide pact" last year.
But they say the federal government turned down their request for additional health funding to prevent the suicides.
