In Indian Country, federal agencies such as Office of Women’ Health and SAMSHA have been most supportive in providing direct funding to Tribal Colleges such as Navajo Technical College. Since 2006, these agencies, in addition to the State of New Mexico; have provide varying support in educating people of all ages about HIV/AIDS/STD. Our tribal college has provided, and will continue to provide health information including HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention, testing, and collaboration with others to address the collective effort to eradicate the disease. Our Project, which ends on September 30, 2011; will provide a sustainability plan to continue to battle the disease by education everyone with the help of all. Our Project utililzes the wisdom of our elderly leader and teachers in reaching everyone; from the home to formal learning institutions. The elder people command respect and dignity and they are most supportive in teaching young about about how valuable and precious life is. In the Navajo teaching; the holistic person learning developing in a spiritual way is the road to self-actualization and longevity.

Thank you for providing opportunity to comment.
