Members connected over what helps them endure difficult times, with an overwhelming majority naming faith in God, close relationships with family and friends, and the joy brought by children and grandchildren as their primary sources of strength. Several members shared specific practices that sustain them, including prayer, music and dancing, volunteer work with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Blood Ties Four Directions Centre, and the companionship of pets. A recurring theme was the power of love, community support, and staying connected to purpose, whether through helping others, nurturing relationships, or holding onto hope for the future.

I have been home twenty yrs now, and the scene around HIV/AIDS HEP C has changed, for the better. I only know of a couple of HIV+ people here in the Yukon. People are still hiding from their diagnose, and I see a few when I visit with my Specialist in town from Edmonton, once every 3-4 months she chks up on her poz people.
This territory is vast, and many do not live in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory-Canada, many live off the grid- the bush- and must make appointments to be seen. People still are hush about this disease, and the stigma attached to it. Hopefully, in time, people here will learn to trust. The Yukon is still going thru healing changes from Residential and the 60s scoop. People are aware that HIV/AIDS HEP C is still happening, and there is a slow change coming around. We need more 1st nation advocates here in the Yukon. Without change, no 1 grows positively.
I have volunteered here 4 20 yrs now-Blood Ties Four Directions Centre.
