Abstract

First Nations in Canada are experiencing alarming problems with their youth sniffing gas and other toxic inhalants. And they are not alone. Native youth here in the states are also falling victim. A counter attack is being devised, but the clock is ticking. What is the underlying reason causing our youth to dull their minds? And what can be done to stop the huffing? Guests include Debra Dell, Director of the White Bison Youth Inhalant Treatment Centre of Saskatchewan.
