A colorful graphic illustration of people, with a background suggesting clouds and snowy mountains. One man is playing a fiddle while another looks on, and there are music notes next to them. Another man (wearing an AIDS ribbon) is adjusting the neckerchief of a man in traditional native American dress. There is a mother (perhaps an Inuit woman, suggested by her clothing) with a child on her back. Finally, there are a man and woman holding hands. The graphic illustrates the textual message that there is hope for more supportive communities and hope that together, HIV/AIDS can be overcome.
There is an additional inscription next to the four pictures of native Canadians:The Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network Inc. (CAAN) is a non-profit coalition of individuals and organizations which provides leadership, support, and advocacy for Aboriginal people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS regardless of where they reside. These four Aboriginal people in the photo to the left have all been affected by HIV/AIDS, fear and discrimination in some way, and come forward as a part of this year’s Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Day Poster Campaign to tell their stories. It is the goal of these individuals, and of all the members and associate members of the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network, to make sure that all Aboriginal people in Canada have the facts about HIV, both to protect ourselves and our families, and to help those of us already infected with the disease achieve the quality of life that we deserve. For more information on Aboriginal people and HIV/AIDS call the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network toll-free at 1-800-285-2226 or go to our webpage at WWW.caan.ca.
