“HISstory, HERstory, THEIRstory, OURstory: A Journey Through the Native HIV/AIDS Timeline” is a historical account celebrating the contributions that American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians made over the past 40 years of the HIV epidemic. OURstory, told in a VoiceThread slide series, features the grass-roots efforts that created strong leaders who paved the way for a new generation of providers and advocates. OURstory showcases the actions of these early leaders that ensure that Natives are heard, counted and included in the U.S. HIV/AIDS policies, initiatives, and funding.
VoiceThread is an interactive cloud application that will allow participants to expand on the rich history of OURstory by inserting their comments through text or audio recording onto a slide. To interact with the slides, users must create a VoiceThread account.
