Seven Generations | Prevent Suicide

Young American Indian men, especially in the Northern Plains, face a greater challenge with suicide than other groups. However, they have the strength of generations to help them overcome their pain and silence, the stigma, and to seek help. Learn more about the spirit of American Indian men.

Seven Generations, produced with the assistance of a member of the Blackfeet Tribe and the White Clay Tribe, includes location filming in Montana in Kalispell, on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning, and at the Fort Belknap Reservation in Chinook. Tribes represented in the video include the Blackfeet, Chippewa Chee, Gros Ventre/A'aninin, Salish/Pend Orielle, and Kootenai/Wanapum. SAMHSA is grateful for the participation of all who made this video possible.
