No man is an island



Kevin Carter
 I left the North to find my own way

According to his Twitter bio he is a "working Native Nerd who is enjoying social media on his blackberry. Enjoys D&D, webcomics, sarcasm, and Failblog. Not helping stereotypes since 1999."

It seems the isolation in northern reserves is destroying many of Canada's First Nations. The cycle of poverty has nowhere to turn but inside the reservation. The government tap of funds continues to drip with no results to show for it. 

This young man walked out of the isolation into his own lonely road, but it may have just been the thing that saved him. 

And what a shame that the First has now become the last.
