A single research question with no single answer is: what causes suicide? Through my own research and experience, it is clear that the choice of suicide is relative to choosing life. I am not proposing to 'solve the Indian problem' of suicide, but rather explore how aboriginal world views and cultural perspectives are imperative to 'choosing life'.

Community resources addressing the suicide epidemic among aboriginals are limited. There is also little information examining how history, culture, identity and tradition relate  to understanding aboriginal suicide, community resistance and survival.
