"A national network of advocacy groups released a report on Friday that paints a bleak picture of poverty facing First Nations children in Canada. In its report, called Oh Canada! Too Many Children in Poverty for Too Long, the advocacy group Campaign 2000 says First Nations children are suffering the greatest levels of poverty of all children in the country. The group defines poverty rates by using information compiled by Statistics Canada on low-income families. But Statistics Canada does not use the word "poverty," saying there's no objective definition."
