Davis Inlet: "I'll Never Stop Sniffing Gas"
This is a 16-minute documentary/news report from the CBC archives entitled Davis Inlet: "I'll Never Stop Sniffing Gas". It was published on November 29, 2000 just prior to the relocation of the community to Natuashish. This is about 2 years after the public scandal when information about the community began showing up in Canadian media. It features a number of one-on-one interviews with members of the Innu community, particularly children who identify as gas-sniffers. The documentary reveals some of the horrors of Davis Inlet, particularly suicide, substance abuse, poor living conditions, and lack of government support.
