A Community "Under Crisis"

The Neskantaga First Nation (Landsdowne House) north of Thunder Bay is declaring a state-of-emergency. They say it comes following another suicide in the community, the second in a matter of a week, and the fourth suicide and seventh tragic death in a year. They say there have also been 20 other attempts. First Nation councillor Roy Moonias says they have reached a breaking point and the community is under crisis.
