A two-year project is getting under way to educate Native on the Blood and Peigan reserves about AIDS. The project is being done jointly by the Lethbridge AIDS Connection and the University of Lethbridge Four Worlds Development Project. Spokesman Philip Johnson says program presenters must be sensitive to cultural differences like members of the Blackfoot nation not being allowed to speak about sex if relatives are in the room.
