A brother/sister duo from Hay River, Northwest Territories, launched a new online campaign, We Matter, for Indigenous youth who feel alone and are looking for support. The hope is that the messages will encourage Indigenous youth to not give up. Kelvin Redvers, filmmaker and co-founder of the We Matter campaign, said the aim of the initiative is to reduce the number of Indigenous suicides. That project uses video messages to support LGBT teens who are struggling with bullying and shame, and lack gay mentors. "We think video is effective because it is personal, but you can use it across long distances," Redvers said.
