Pueblo leaders forming suicide support group
Wednesday, February 18, 2004

Tribes in northern New Mexico are reaching out to the community after a rash of suicides, including one tribal member.

Leaders from San Ildefonso, Tesuque, Nambé and Pojoaque pueblos want to make more resources available to the general public. A school board member from San Ildefonso is setting up a group to help families obtain services and help.

Four local students, including a tribal member from San Ildefonso, died in the past year.
