text: It is sad that on the one hand, First Nations identify as separate Nations from Canada because they believe they have a different, superior culture to protect, and on the other, seem to have such faith in the miracle of modern western "mental health services".

How can anyone believe that flying in a few counselors and psychologists is the solution to the serious psychological issues produced by living in tiny remote isolated communities?
