3 CANADIAN ABORIGINAL AIDS NETWORK Message from the Chief Executive Officer Welcome to our Special Edition Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week Newsletter!! This newsletter has been developed to provide communities with resources that create action for Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week, happening this year from December 1-6, Fall 2015 ISSUE Aboriginal peoples are living with HIV and AIDS and at a rate 3.6 times higher than other Canadians 8.9% of all people living with HIV and 12.5% of all new HIV infections in Canada are Aboriginal according to 2012 status report from the Public Health Agency of Canada. This reality is linked to various factors and determinants of health, including poverty, housing insecurity, childhood experiences, access to health services, support networks and social environments, and experiences with trauma and violence. Racism, generational impacts of colonialism and the residential school system are also key influences in creating vulnerability to HIV in Aboriginal communities. This Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week is an opportunity for national Aboriginal organizations, government partners and health care providers, and community members they serve, to dialogue, network, make new connections, and build on their understandings of the key influences driving HIV infection rates among Aboriginal people and wise practices for responding to these. Community-based responses in all communities are one way we can begin to address the circumstances that underlie HIV infection rates. Each person in a community has a part to play in creating change; everyone can take action. Everyone is important we all have something to contribute we can all be leaders in responding to HIV and AIDS for all our relations. We can be bridge-builders. We can create inclusive communities. We can support people where they are at and work from a place of non-judgment. We can constructively respond to acts of intolerance and discrimination. We can create safe spaces to talk about our community strengths and needs, and how to work within these realities. What can you do to change how Aboriginal people live with HIV and AIDS? It s time for you to do your part for all Aboriginal families living with HIV and AIDS. The Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network asks you to make a difference to understand: Getting to Zero. Zero new Infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AID related deaths and challenge yourself and your community about what YOU can do to get to ZERO during Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week In solidarity, Ken Clement Chief Executive Officer Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network

7 Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week Activity Guide Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week, which is scheduled every year from December 1 to December 5 beginning on World AIDS Day December 1, is an opportunity to: Increase awareness and knowledge about HIV and AIDS. Establish ongoing prevention and education programs in Aboriginal communities. Address common attitudes that may interfere with prevention, care and treatment activities. Reduce HIV and AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. This activity guide is intended as a resource to help you and your community think about what HIV and AIDS awareness activities you might plan for Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week as well as throughout the year. We cannot pretend HIV doesn t exist in our communities it does! Every First Nation, Inuit and Métis community is affected by HIV and AIDS. Knowledge and awareness about HIV and AIDS is one way to address and respond to the fear, shame and stigma that contributes to each new infection. It is important to raise awareness about this preventable disease and for all Aboriginal people to have the knowledge to make a difference and be leaders in their own communities. Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week Activities Just a Beginning Every year, between December 1 and December 5, you have an opportunity to begin a dialogue about HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) among people in your community especially among the young men and women who may be at greatest risk of infection. It is an ideal time to begin to raise knowledge about HIV what the virus is, how it is spread, the importance of knowing how to prevent infection and regular testing, and how the virus is best treated. Or perhaps it is an ideal time for your community to remember your friends, family and community members who may have lost their brave struggle against HIV and died as a result of (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) or AIDSrelated illnesses. Or perhaps it is an ideal time to sit with community Elders and leaders to begin the necessary dialogue about what is needed to educate your community s young people or how best to reduce HIV and AIDS-related stigma and discrimination, or how to best support and care for Aboriginal People Living with HIV and AIDS (APHA) from your community. But remember, the activities which you may have started during Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week need to continue throughout the year whenever there is an opportunity to raise awareness and knowledge about HIV and AIDS. 4.
8 Getting Started This is your opportunity to make a difference in how your community responds to HIV and AIDS risks and realities locally. Be proud that you have chosen to use Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week to take the first step. Here is a simple checklist to help make sure your activity, personal project or planned program gets off to a good start. 1. Do you know what you would like to achieve with your project? I want to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS. I want to share knowledge about preventing infection. I want to remember friends who have died. I want to encourage our community to do more. I want to reduce stigma and discrimination in my community. 2. Who are you hoping will participate in your project or attend your activity? Everyone in the community. Our community s young women and men. Elders and community leaders. My students. Media. 3. Have you told them? Invited them? Informed them personally. ed them. Put up posters or notices. Made it part of their school course. Mailed them a notice or invitation. 4. Do you have the information, resources and support you need? Yes, I have done some research and have spoken with our community s health representative. Yes, I have checked with a member from CAAN in our community and they will help me. Yes, I downloaded more of the posters and fact sheets from CAAN s web site and have them ready for my students. Yes, I have invited a health expert to speak to our community leaders and Elders about doing more. Yes, I am working with the local AIDS Service Organization and the Friendship centre. 5.
9 Opportunities to Inform, to Discuss and to Take Action Traditional Activities Aboriginal communities often have regular or traditional gatherings where you may be able to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS by distributing information, setting up a display or information table, or preparing a presentation or discussion. These may include: Community Feasts or Dances Women s Gatherings Community Meetings HIV and AIDS-Specific Activities You may choose to organize a specific activity where the main focus is on raising awareness about HIV and AIDS. You may want to get help from one of CAAN s member organization close to your community or a local AIDS service organization or community s health office to help in sharing more technical information, like what HIV does to cells in the body, and different treatment options, for example. It is important to remember that it is better to answer a question with I don t know than to provide inaccurate information you can document unanswered questions and publish the answers to these questions on a website, in a community paper, or in a information poster as one way of addressing knowledge gaps. Activities may include: An open house at a local AIDS service organization; An HIV Resource and Information table or display at local events; An HIV and AIDS Awareness fair and/or panel discussion; Community toll booth where you can collect change to host other AIDS Awareness activities, and hand out HIV and AIDS awareness information; and/or A Candle Light Vigil or Memorial Service for people who have passed on. Youth and School Activities As a concerned teacher or student, you may wish to raise awareness about HIV, discuss important HIV prevention practices or address HIV/ AIDS stigma and discrimination in art, drama, video arts, or writing classes. These may include: A Youth-Only Dialogue about Safer Sex and HIV-Prevention An HIV/AIDS Stigma and Discrimination Art, Video or Writing Assignment. Organizing guest speakers for the school during Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week. Media Activities You would like to share how your com- munity reduced HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination, or invite the community to an event or simply do you part to raise awareness about HIV/ AIDS through your local media or social media including Facebook or Twitter. These may include: Write a public service announcement, a community HIV/AIDS Success Story or a personal story for your community newsletter, or for the local newspaper or radio station Invite Aboriginal or local media to attend your Activity 6.

14 Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week Rationale & Theme The Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network (CAAN) has developed a theme for Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week (AAAW) in Canada for December 1-6, 2016 which continues to parallel the international theme for World AIDS Day , Getting to Zero. We will promote Getting to Zero within the context of two important Indigenous developments: 1) the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC), and 2) the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing conceptualized by Mi kmaw Elder Albert Marshall. Theme: Getting to Zero. Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS related deaths. Creating community readiness and culturally safe approaches to testing, treatment, and support is the roadmap for the journey to zero. Rationale: Aboriginal people continue to respond with community-based initiatives to HIV and AIDS, but are still experiencing epidemic proportions 3.6 times higher than other Canadians. Aboriginal people must strive further toward: Getting to Zero. Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS related deaths. We must all work together to get to zero because everybody has a part to play in prevention, education, and access to care, testing, treatment, and support. Aboriginal communities developing culturally safe strategies and actions to combat HIV and AIDS will foster our journey to zero. Zero New Infections This is a call for Aboriginal communities to reduce the number of new HIV infections by promoting prevention, education, and testing. HIV is in our communities and our people continue to get HIV and AIDS - so we must stand up and take action! We need to get tested for HIV. By knowing our status we can continue to prevent HIV transmission by getting treatment early and eliminate transmission. Zero Discrimination Our communities must fight against discrimination and keep the circle strong by including those living with HIV and AIDS. We must address the alarming numbers of Aboriginal Youth and Women who are disproportionately impacted by the HIV and AIDS epidemic. There must be zero tolerance for gender-based violence. We must have services that do not racially discriminate against Aboriginal people, which is often a great barrier to getting tested, treatment, and support. Zero AIDS Related Deaths AIDS is no longer a death sentence and a person may live a long healthy life if they receive proper care, treatment, and support. We must push towards zero barriers to treatment for all. We must insist that increased culturally relevant support and services are provided to Aboriginal people, so that they can feel safe to get tested, and increase options and access to antiretroviral therapy for people living with HIV; including access to traditional medicines and ceremonies. 11.
15 Secondary Rationale: Getting Tested One of the main strategies to Getting to Zero is for Aboriginal people to get tested so that they may know their status. The core Rationale addresses a variety of realities and factors that make Indigenous peoples testing prohibitive. For example: Access in rural and remote communities Language and translation services Racism in healthcare services Lack of culturally safe healthcare settings and services Stigma, shame, fear, and discrimination The reality of if whether or not testing happens needs to be understood in the context and realities of what s going on in people s lives and communities; and the health inequities for Indigenous people. Two-Eyed Seeing (Etuaptmumk) Two-Eyed Seeing is the Guiding Principle brought into the Integrative Science co-learning journey by Mi kmaw Elder Albert Marshall in Fall In order to reach a broader audience with our communications it is important that we incorporate the TRC s recommendations and the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing: Aboriginal people and communities working together with non-aboriginal people who are committed to the health and well-being of Aboriginal Peoples. There is a continued need to provide a collaborative, culturally appropriate response to the HIV and AIDS epidemic faced by Indigenous communities in Canada through the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing where both Indigenous and Western knowledge is shared and developed into culturally appropriate resources. The 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada AAAW brings awareness to Aboriginal people, communities, and leadership living with HIV and AIDS as well as those at risk, and we believe the TRC s Calls to Action and the guiding principle of Two- Eyed Seeing will further support Aboriginal people living with HIV by creating a holistic response to the negative health outcomes they are facing. Two TRC call to actions key to this rationale are: We call upon those who can effect change within the Canadian health-care system to recognize the value of Aboriginal healing practices and use them in the treatment of Aboriginal patients in collaboration with Aboriginal healers and Elders where requested by Aboriginal patients. We implore all levels of government to provide reports and data related to progress on closing the gaps between Aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities in a number of health indicators such as: infant mortality, maternal health, suicide, mental health, addictions, life expectancy, birth rates, infant and child health issues, chronic diseases, illness and injury incidence, and the availability of appropriate health services.
16 Need Additional Help In addition to this activity guide, you may request additional support, resources or advice from the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network (CAAN) or from one of CAAN s member organizations or individuals located across the country. To contact CAAN or to reach one of its members, Phone: Internet: info@caan.ca Order posters from CAAN for your community.
