'They're doing it right on the street': New gas-sniffing crisis grips Natuashish Innu

Fifteen years after the Innu of Davis Inlet were moved to a fresh start in nearby Natuashish, leaders are once

again fighting to keep kids as young as 11 from sniffing gas.

"They're doing it right on the street," said Simeon Tshakapesh, deputy grand chief of the Innu Nation in Labrador. He took a late-night walk three days after a fire May 8 at an abandoned house known for gas-sniffing injured two boys who, according to police, were 11 and 17.
