Interview Wednesday: Tshakapesh and Innu Nation

interview wednesday: He was in the system and he took his life, Tshakapesh said in an interview Wednesday, according to CTV. He was damaged physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Simeon Tshakapesh, deputy grand chief of the Innu Nation, says his boy, Thunderheart, took his own life May 24 after two years of treatment for solvent abuse -- much of which took place far from his home in Natuashish. He wasn't the same. Despite his deep sorrow and anger, Tshakapesh is now calling on the federal and provincial governments to dramatically alter the way they treat aboriginal youth with substance abuse problems. He couldn't recover. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
