You changed the meaning in your quote: "First Nations, Métis and Inuit make up only 5% of Canada’s population, but in 2018 they made up 22% of the country’s homicide victims."
There's a massive inferential gap between Inuit children in the 1960s being taught to control their anger like this and Indigenous people being murdered now.
- How common are these parenting techniques across Indigenous populations?
- What sorts of people are committing those murders? Why?
You brought up the murder rate to claim that this "Does not seam to work very well", but linking this one method of teaching Inuit children emotional regulation to Indigenous murders is a big stretch in many different ways.
There are many issues these populations face, but it's unlikely that many of them stem from any particularly good (emotional regulation?) or bad (spanking?) parenting technique used on 3 year olds.
