Abstract
In rural northwest British Columbia, Canada, the truth speaking stories of five First Nations Warriors were collected through purposive sampling to answer three pre-determined research questions. Through their truth speaking, intra-personal and inter-personal data and themes were gathered on the nature of 'driven to suicide', successful suicide interventions, and serendipitous and sacred spiritual life events that helped the Warriors, in fighting for their lives. An 'Indianized' research method, similar to phenomenology's thematic analysis, was created by drawing upon Blackfoot and Sioux cultures as well as referencing Elders from both Red and White Nations. Lastly, a suicide prevention/intervention pamphlet was developed and given back to the Warriors as a gift to their People, who are still fighting for their lives.---P.iii |
