Indigenous people in Saskatchewan are 13 times more likely to be killed than non\u002DIndigenous people, says a Statistics Canada report.
The report, released on Tuesday, found the average homicide rate among Indigenous people in Saskatchewan was 17.57 per 100,000 Indigenous people between 2015 and 2020 — double the national rate.
The national average was 8.65 homicides per 100,000 Indigenous people and 1.39 homicides per non-Indigenous people. He said we need to look at housing, food, economics, effect of racism, intergenerational trauma, colonialism and how they come together. The province pointed to the $18.42 million it is providing to municipalities in 2022-2023 through the municipal Police Grants program to fund 141 policing positions and targeted initiatives.
Nationally, the report made several findings, including that four in 10 Indigenous people experienced sexual or physical violence perpetrated by an adult by the age of 15, that one-third of Indigenous people surveyed in the 2019 General Social Survey on Canadians’ Safety experienced discrimination within the five years preceding the survey.Article content
