Sun - Mar 21	National Native (American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian) HIV/AIDS Awareness Day	"A Celebration of Life...Protecting Our Future, Protecting Our People!" March 21, 2007 marked the first annual National Native (American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian) HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Per population, American Indians/Alaska Natives have the third highest rates of HIV/AIDS behind Blacks and Hispanics. Native communities selected March 21st to commemorate National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day because it marks the start of spring, a time of beginnings and change. In Native cultures, seasons define the cycle and celebration of life. Ceremonies are usually held at the start and end of each season. Resources are available to help Native and Native-serving organizations. For more information about HIV/AIDS and American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians please visit: www.itcaonline.com/nshapp, www.colostate.edu/Depts/CASAE/happ/index.html, or www.nnaapc.org.
