Native Americans


Youth native americans at the age of 10-24 were thinking and committing suicide because of the lack of money, lack of adequate resources to treat mental health problems, substance abuse and family turmoil, isolation, poverty, etc. All of the stories showed/s readers that native americans were not being treated well, or cared for, and were desperate for help, and were struggling to have a good life.
