Aboriginal kids in foster family

Despite the aboriginal people are representing only four percent (4%) of the entire population of Canada, almost half of the kids on foster families are the aboriginal kids (14-years-old and younger). In a research made in 2011,  out of 30,000 kids in foster families, 14,225 are aboriginal. But the aboriginal kids also are having other problems, now with their families. Less than fifty per cent live with both parents. That is a problem because of several reasons, like: children raised with both parents have better marks at school,  better emotional health and fewer behavioural problems. They will also have a better and more romantic relationships during their adult life. While  teenager, if you aren't having dinner with your both parents, the probability of the usage of drugs by the teen increases. With aboriginal kids being highly affected by this, they have an urgency for help. I don't want to stop helping the Canadians with the same problem, I want to raise awareness because the aboriginal, that have big numbers in this problems, are being neglected by society also. For this reasons, we should help the aboriginals, making donations, talk to them.... basically, be friendly do charity. Let's prevent this vicious cycle of abandoning and transform it into a happy family, together. Let's not forget about the society, the culture, that was here before all of us.
