Talk:Suicide in Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have temporarily removed this from the section on suicide among aboriginal people in the article on suicide in Canada, because Alaska is an American state. It is not in Canada.

"Although early mortality statistics were not collected, during the middle of the twentieth century it was noted that among the Alaskan Inuit,

When a person was no longer able to produce, he had no right to expect continued support [...] This is not to imply a disrespect for the aged [...] It was rather the unnamed child, the child who was not regarded as a member of the society as yet, who was subject to abandonment [...] Only in the direst of circumstances would it have taken place.[1]

Methods section contains Aboriginal People section?

[edit]

Sections 3.1 and 3.2 are about Suicide among Aboriginal (Indigenous) Peoples, but they are included as part of the 'Methods' section. They aren't about methods, but then section 3.3 is about methods.

Recommendation for someone who knows how to shift sections around, to separate the Indigenous Peoples section from the Methods section 2620:22:4000:112:1FFE:E4ED:7D06:1307 (talk) 16:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
