CAAN (Communities, Alliances & Networks) leads Indigenous organizations across the land, sharing over twenty years of knowledge, experience, and expertise about HIV, HepC and other STBBI experienced by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. This session will highlight Indigenous ways of Knowing and Doing (IWKD), Indigenous wellness and wellbeing, and how Indigenous knowledges inform our work, with communities and in partnerships. Specifically, we will highlight lessons learned from the DRUM & Sash research project; the past, present, and future work of the International Indigenous Working Group on HIV & AIDS (IIWGHA) and International Indigenous led research development. The session will also explore the intersections between culture and health in general and offer first-voice perspective on what it means to meaningfully engage with Indigenous Peoples with living experience of STBBI.

This session is supported by the Canadian Alliance for HIV and HCV Knowledge to Action, a joint effort between the Canadian Association for Global Health (CAGH) and the Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR).
