Prevention Education & Community Mobilization project on HIV
IT’S ABOUT THE CONTINUATION OF THE TRIBE
Pam Heavy Head, Blood Tribe
According to the last Canadian Census, First Nations, Métis, Inuit and urban Aboriginal peoples constitute around 4% of the population of Canada. Although this population is often over-represented in the statistics on HIV infection, the Tipi of Courage is part of a national movement that challenges misinformation and ignorance about HIV and AIDS by:
educating,
dispelling myths, and
challenging stigma.
The Tipi of Courage is a unique and innovative community-based initiative focusing on “being a Warrior”. Elders and traditionalists have worked with Tipi of Courage staff to create workshops and training that inspire children, youth and adults.
