ALL OUR RELATIONS: FINDING THE PATH FORWARD (CBC MASSEY LECTURES)

Book ID/图书代码： 06481018C00014

English Summary/英文概要： Every single year in Canada, one-third of all deaths among Indigenous youth are due to suicide. Studies indicate youth between the ages of ten and nineteen, living on reserve, are five to six times more likely to commit suicide than their peers in the rest of the population. Suicide is a new behaviour for First Nations people. There is no record of any suicide epidemics prior to the establishment of the 130 residential schools across Canada.

Bestselling and award-winning author Tanya Talaga argues that the aftershocks of cultural genocide have resulted in a disturbing rise in youth suicides in Indigenous communities in Canada and beyond. She examinees the tragic reality of children feeling so hopeless they want to die, of kids perishing in clusters, forming suicide pacts, or becoming romanced by the notion of dying ― a phenomenon that experts call “suicidal ideation.” She also looks at the rising global crisis, as evidenced by the high suicide rates among the Inuit of Greenland and Aboriginal youth in Australia. Finally, she documents suicide prevention strategies in Nunavut, Seabird Island, and Greenland; Facebook’s development of AI software to actively link kids in crisis with mental health providers; and the push by First Nations leadership in Northern Ontario for a new national health strategy that could ultimately lead communities towards healing from the pain of suicide.

Based on her Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy series, Tanya Talaga’s 2018 Massey Lectures is a powerful call for action and justice for Indigenous communities and youth.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在加拿大，每年有三分之一的土著青年死亡是由于自杀。研究表明，10岁到19岁的年轻人，生活在储备状态下，自杀的可能性是同龄人的5到6倍。对第一民族的人来说，自杀是一种新的行为。在加拿大130所寄宿学校建立之前，没有任何自杀流行病的记录。

畅销书作家、获奖作家塔尼娅•塔拉加认为，文化灭绝的余波导致加拿大及其他地区土著社区青年自杀率令人不安地上升。她在书中审视了孩子们的悲惨现实:他们感到绝望，想要死去；孩子们成群结队地死去；订立自杀协议；她还研究了不断加剧的全球危机，格陵兰岛因纽特人和澳大利亚土著青年的高自杀率就证明了这一点。最后，她记录了努纳武特岛、海鸟岛和格陵兰岛的自杀预防策略；Facebook开发人工智能软件，将处于危机中的儿童与心理健康提供者积极联系起来；安大略北部的第一民族领导人正在推动一项新的国家卫生战略，这一战略最终可能导致社区从自杀的痛苦中恢复过来。
