Yes, the high rates in the territories are definitely a product of over-policing indigenous communities (plus a wide range of factors contributing to higher actual crime rates in indigenous communities, including profound generational trauma and institutionalized poverty).

In contrast, indigenous communities within large cities, despite often lacking running water, look like great places to live in. And then there are those who were "successfully" assimilated and raised like "normal" people. These ones don't have any of their culture left, but the generational trauma is still present. I'm part of this third group.
