  3. Limited government funding for Indigenous-specific health programs
  4. Intergenerational trauma from forced removal of children and cultural suppression continuing to affect mental health and substance abuse rates

  • D is correct: Intergenerational trauma from Stolen Generations and cultural suppression continues affecting mental health and substance abuse.
