That number is a 119 per cent increase over the 116 Indigenous individuals who died of drug overdoses in 2019. Indigenous peoples have been over-represented in the public health emergency, accounting for about 15 per cent of toxic drug deaths in 2020, while making up just 3.3 per cent of B.C.’s population. That statistic is up from 2019, when First Nations peoples comprised 11.8 per cent of fatal overdoses. The rate First Nations people died also increased at 5.3 times the rate of other B.C. residents in 2020, up from 3.9 times in 2019, according to the FNHA. It’s also the widest gap seen since 2016. Last year saw the highest-ever number of toxic drug deaths among both First Nations women and men 172 men and 82 women. First Nations women were especially affected, accounting for 32 per cent of drug deaths for First Nations people, which is double the rate of non-First Nations women in B.C. last year, according to the FNHA.
