“DYING TO PLEASE YOU is a ground breaking, paradigm-shifting book. It compels readers to rethink the definition of suicide, homicide, and treatment, as well as to grasp the political - and primary - cause of Indigenous suicide, rather than be distracted by psychiatric explanations. Moreover, it provides a clear alternative - albeit, a politically difficult one - as to how best to transform this ongoing tragedy. The authors make a convincing case that the “proper treatment” for the “Indian Suicide Problem” isn’t to send cheerleaders into our communities; it is the elimination of the system that is destroying our lives.’”
