Title: "An historic overview of two spirited people" Authors: LeDuigou, Celeste Abstract: This paper is divided into two sections. Part one, "The Historical Record," will describe several areas of interest regarding the legacy of two-spirited people of the First Nations and how this legacy interacts with modern circumstances, specifically, the HIV/AIDS crisis which began roughly in 1981. First, I will discuss the historical record of two-spirited people of the First Nations. Second, I will discuss their suppression and oppression by both religious authorities and state policies which were patriarchal, assimiliationist, and genocidal in nature. Finally, I will discuss how these policies serve to magnify the intensity of the AIDS crisis for Aboriginal Communities today. In Part Two, "What is Happening Today?", I will examine how homophobia and AIDS-related stigma impact upon two-spirited people, Aboriginal communities, as well as suggest the most appropriate role for the social worker as an ally.

Title: "Attitudes and beliefs towards HIV and AIDS among Aboriginal peoples living in British Columbia" Authors: Schneider, David; Marsden, Barbara; Copley, Tobin; Skaling, Barbara; Nowgesic, Earl Abstract: Healing Our Spirit, BC First Nations AIDS Society (HOS) provides outreach and education services for First Nations and Aboriginal people living with HIV AIDS (APHA). These services, including educational workshops, are provided to diverse clients and communities throughout British Columbia (BC), including remote villages and reserves. Over the past three years, workshop participants have completed questionnaires. Using this collected data multivariate logistic regression is used to examine attitudes and beliefs about those who are living with HIV.

Title: "First Nations People and AIDS: A study of social work knowledge in Northern Quebec" Authors: Boudreau, Francois; van de Sande, Adje; Rouilier, Marc Abstract: First Nations' people have experienced the greatest increase in the proportion of reported AIDS cases between 1989 and 1998 compared to all other ethnic groups in Canada (Health Canada, 1999). The proportion of reported AIDS cases among First Nations people jumped from 1.3% of the total reported cases in 1989 to 10.9% in 1998 (Health Canada, 1999). This increase, in spite of the fact that First Nations people represent only 3.6% of the Canadian population (Statistics Canada, 1996), suggests that health and social service professionals working with First Nations people should increase their attention to issues such as AIDS prevention programs directed to First Nations' communities.

Title: "HIV and injection drug use amongst First Nations in Vancouver" Authors: Goldstone, Irene; Albert, R; Churchill, A; Schilder, A; Perry, T; Markowski, R; Hogg, R.S.; McLeod, W.A. Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine First Nation's use of the hospital care from the point at which they were known to be HIV positive until death occurred. In British Columbia, First Nation's persons represent approximately 5% of the population. However, in 1997 First Nations made up 13.6% of new HIV diagnoses in BC. Because St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver cares for the majority of persons with HIV/AIDS in BC, data were collected from a chart review of all HIV/AIDS related deaths occurring at St. Paul's and from the Drug Treatment Program of the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS.

Title: "Honouring and caring for Aboriginal people and communities in the fight against HiV/AIDS" Authors: Marsden, Namaste; Clement, Ken; Schneider, David Abstract: This paper provides an organizational overview of Healing Our Spirit BC First Nations AIDS Society (Healing Our Spirit) and introduces the holistic healing and Aboriginal specific service delivery model that Healing Our Spirit uses to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Title: "A community-based approach to reducing HIV/AIDS infection in the Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve" Authors: Maar, Marion; Cooper, Scott; Peltier, Mary Ann Abstract: Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve has long been committed to self-determination in the development of local community services. In light of this commitment, we examine in this report the response of this rural Native community to the HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome) epidemic.

Title: "Celebrating community knowledge: Encouraging involvement, achieving ownership and building confidence through comprehensive community consultation" Authors: Armstrong, Todd Abstract: Pauktuutit Inuit Women's Association of Canada has demonstrated a historical commitment to addressing health care issues among Inuit communities, and HIV/AIDS is no exception. Since the story of Leetia Geetah, the first Inuk woman diagnosed with HIV, hit the news in 1988, Pauktuutit has been increasingly involved in HIV/AIDS issues.

Title: "Dynamics of the 1999 AIDS Walk in 31 First Nations communities: The community within the community" Authors: Saulnier, Gabe; Masching, Renee Abstract: The Atlantic First Nations region consists of 31 distinct Maliseet and Mi'kmaq Nations with populations ranging from 60 to almost 3,000. HIV/AIDS has found its way into several Atlantic First Nation communities. It can probably be assumed that all of these communities, at one time or another, will have members who are affected by this disease.

Title: """Point of Death," HIV/AIDS and IV drug use: Youth awareness video project" Authors: Adkins, Gary Abstract: Alcohol and other abuses have had a negative effect on Aboriginal Canadians as a whole. Across Canada, information, personnel, and the availability of services are at fairly close range for most of those wishing to utilize them. However, communities of the N.W.T are widely spread and sometimes do not have the tools necessary to cope with all issues facing them. Isolation, struggle for cultural identity, boredom, and a need to be heard, are some of the issues facing our Northern youth today.
