Aboriginal Extinction ?
Suicide was rare among Aboriginal Peoples in Canada in pre-European contact times. However, the suicide rate has risen dramatically during the past few few decades. According to Health Canada, First Nations Inuit Health Branch suicide and self-injury were the leading causes of death for youth and adults up to age 44. In one year, suicide and self-injury accounted for 38% of deaths among youth and 23% of deaths in young adults.

Theodore Roosevelt...
The fourth face you see on that "Stony Mountain" is America's first twentieth century president, alleged American hero, and Nobel peace prize recipient, Theodore Roosevelt. This Indian fighter firmly grasped the notion of Manifest Destiny saying that America's extermination of the Indians and thefts our their lands "was ultimately beneficial as it was inevitable". Roosevelt once said, "I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth".
In 1783, Washington's anti-Indian sentiments were apparent in his comparisons of Indians with wolves: "Both being beast of prey, tho' they differ in shape", he said. George Washington's policies of extermination were realized in his troops behaviors following a defeat. Troops would skin the bodies of Iroquois "from the hips downward to make boot tops or leggings". Indians who survived the attacks later re-named the nation's first president as "Town Destroyer". Approximately 28 of 30 Seneca towns had been destroyed within a five year period.
The rate of tuberculosis among aboriginals in Canada is more than 30 times that of the non-aboriginal population, according to a striking new Health Canada report.
The numbers were released Wednesday and were accompanied by a call from the federal NDP for an emergency debate in the House of Commons to discuss the issue — particularly as it relates to Inuit communities, where the numbers are even worse.

Manure Power
Methane digesters are increasing in number, especially in Europe. But there's an important difference between Europe and America: electricity in the U.S. is relatively cheap. Dairyman Vander Haak says his energy sales have not been profitable. "The Northwest has too much [cheap] hydropower to compete with," he points out, adding that he's been looking for alternative markets. "It would be easier to compete with the gas companies, I guess."
