Why are young persons so over represented among those who choose to
end their own lives? And why are these already elevated rates of
suicide still higher among Aboriginal youth? The developmental and
cross-cultural studies reported in this "Monograph" demonstrate
that the beginnings of answers to these questions lie in
disruptions to young people's developing conceptions of personal or
cultural persistence. Grounded in a series of normative studies
indicating that Aboriginal Canadian and non-Aboriginal Canadian
youth ordinarily follow distinctive pathways of identity
development. The findings reported demonstrate that those who fail
to own their personal past, and their as yet unrealized future, are
at especially heightened risk of suicide. At the level of whole
communities, the efforts of Aboriginal groups to reclaim their
cultural past and to direct the future course of their civic lives
are similarly associated with dramatically lower youth suicide
rates.
