I don't mean to keep you from getting to work or anything. I just knew if I didn't start driving, I wasn't gonna see you again. I didn't want that. That's all.

Two nights ago my Father, Meldon Fulwilder, was involved in a hit and run in Mesa on his way to Walmart to grab Groceries. While he was on his way there he was sideswiped and he lost control of his truck, causing him to roll over as he was trying to dodge oncoming traffic. Not long after Police arrived and an Ambulance, at which point he was then rushed to Banner Desert Medical Center. Luckily he only suffered some bruises and mild pain. We thank the Creator for protecting him because it couldâve been a lot worse. So far the driver has not been caught, and now his daily driver/work truck is totaled and unfortunately the only coverage he had was Liability.
So with that being said, Iâm asking for any kind of support to get him back on the road and help him find some new (used) wheels. And no worries if you canât donate itâs all good, if you can share this instead weâd be just as grateful.Â
Thank you all so much in advance!

Manitoba NDP MLA Nahanni Fontaine was kicked out of the Manitoba legislature today for saying that the PCâs (Conservatives)Â âDonât give a crap about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit Peopleâ.

Youâre not gonna hear Conservatives complain about PC culture silencing her (despite this being definitionally political correctness). Anyways imagine caring more about someone saying âcrapâ in a parliament than parliament refusing to act upon genocide.

The hard lives â and high suicide rate â of Native American children on reservations
SACATON, ARIZ. The tamarisk tree down the dirt road from Tyler Owensâs house is the one where the teenage girl who lived across the road hanged herself. Donât climb it, donât touch it, admonished Owensâs grandmother when Tyler, now 18, was younger.
There are other taboo markers around the Gila River Indian reservation â eight young people committed suicide here over the course of a single year.
âWeâre not really open to conversation about suicide,â Owens said. âItâs kind of like a private matter, a sensitive topic. If a suicide happens, youâre there for the family. Then after that, itâs kind of just, like, left alone.â
But the silence that has shrouded suicide in Indian country is being pierced by growing alarm at the sheer number of young Native Americans taking their own lives â more than three times the national average, and up to 10 times on some reservations.
A toxic collection of pathologies â poverty, unemployment, domestic violence, sexual assault, alcoholism and drug addiction â has seeped into the lives of young people among the nationâs 566 tribes. Reversing their crushing hopelessness, Indian experts say, is one of the biggest challenges for these communities.
âThe circumstances are absolutely dire for Indian children,â said Theresa M. Pouley, the chief judge of the Tulalip Tribal Court in Washington state and a member of the Indian Law and Order Commission.
Pouley fluently recites statistics in a weary refrain: âOne-quarter of Indian children live in poverty, versus 13 percent in the United States. They graduate high school at a rate 17 percent lower than the national average. Their substance-abuse rates are higher. Theyâre twice as likely as any other race to die before the age of 24. They have a 2.3Â percent higher rate of exposure to trauma. They have two times the rate of abuse and neglect. Their experience with post-traumatic stress disorder rivals the rates of returning veterans from Afghanistan.â
In one of the broadest studies of its kind, the Justice Department recently created a national task force to examine the violence and its impact on American Indian and Alaska Native children, part of an effort to reduce the number of Native American youth in the criminal justice system. The level of suicide has startled some task force officials, who consider the epidemic another outcome of what they see as pervasive despair.
Last month, the task force held a hearing on the reservation of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in Scottsdale. During their visit, Associate Attorney General Tony West, the third-highest-ranking Justice Department official, and task force members drove to Sacaton, about 30 miles south of Phoenix, and met with Owens and 14 other teenagers.
âHow many of you know a young person who has taken their life?â the task forceâs co-chairman asked. All 15 raised their hands.
âThat floored me,â West said.
