Actually I take that back. The ethnic background of the attackers could have played a role in this, which you could ultimately tie back to the treaty system and the state of native affairs in our country. And how two men came to be so angry and entitled as to abuse a girl like this could be tied back to endemic physical and sexual abuse, residential schools, substance abuse, etc. Those are problems plaguing some First Nations in our country.
But on the whole I don't know if ethnic background is relevant. It's not just native men perpetrating these types of crimes.
