Safe sitter
class offered
to teens
(The follow ing article is sub
m itted by the Warm Springs
Community H ealth F.ducatio
Team.)
In Native cultures, the
cycle and celebration of life
are defined by the changes in
seasons. Ceremonies are held
to recognize the passing of
one season and the beginning
of another.
Each of the four seasons
has a special meaning, yet
spring in particular represents
a time for new beginnings,
cellular regeneration, birth
and profound change.
.As M arch 21 officially
m arks the beginn ing of
spring in the northern hemi
sphere, Native community
stakeholders from around
the nation have selected this
day to commemorate the first
annual National Native (Ameri
can Indian, Alaska Native and
Native Hawaiian) HIV/AIDS
Awareness Day.
The beginning of spring is the
first time in the New Year’s cycle
that the lengths of day and night
are equal— this is a time of per
fect balance.
Many native groups believe
that this equality or balance oc
curs physically, emotionally, in
tellectually, and spiritually.
By choosing the first day of
spring to raise awareness about
HIV and AIDS among the Na
tive people, we call attention
to the regeneration that is pos
sible when we take an active
role in our health to secure our
future.
Perhaps w e, as N ative
people, will awaken to the call
for health y and p o sitive
change— for bringing about
balance and healing of our
communities.
HIV continues to increase
among Native people as it
has over the past decade—
this day will challenge us to
work together, in harmony,
to create a greater awareness
of the risk of HIV/AIDS to
our Native communities, to
call for resources for testing
and early detection and for
increased options of treat
ment, and to eventually de
crease the occurrence of
HIV/AIDS among native
people: protect your blood,
protect our people, stop the
silence, know your status, get
tested.
