NAN Raises Concerns About FASD

NAN Deputy Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler says the government's inaction over the issue of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder will cause irreversible damage to future generations.

Fiddler says that FASD is an issue faced by all NAN communities, and that it is unacceptable that the regions most affected by it are ignored.

He also states that the only NAN children who receive proper care for FASD are the ones in foster care or involved in the criminal justice system.
