Description
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. Eight men and women are standing or walking on the edge of a hill with black cloud in sky. One of the men wearing boots and pants with no shirt on, has his two hand around his mouth with a position of shouting. Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, items CN033_1 and CN033_2 (back). Aboriginal AIDS awareness
