“Surviving is a series of contemporary diseases marked by the discovery of HIV. These new diseases include: H1N1, West Nile, Hanta, H5N1, Hepatitis C and most recently COVID 19. As Indigenous people we are very aware of our health. Substandard housing, lack of clean water and poverty are leading causes of poor health. I was worried that COVID 19 would lead to deaths of Indigenous people. Most reserves shut down roads and quarantined residents, this helped to keep numbers down. The pandemic has been scary and boring at the same time.” - Ruth Cuthand

Printed for Remai Modern
