The numbers are mind boggling, to say the least. Here.

Over 5,000 Aboriginal children are in care of the province of Alberta. They represent nearly 70 per cent of kids.

The number grows to 5,600 Aboriginal children in Saskatchewan or 83 per cent of all kids in care.

But it’s Manitoba that has the highest numbers.

More than 10,000 Aboriginal children, 87 per cent, are under the care of the province.
