Summary:

(Producer) Carole Lafavor, member of the Ojibwe tribe, activist, mother and registered nurse, is a person with AIDS. In this candid and moving portrait, Lafavor relates how she has come to terms with AIDS by combining her traditional beliefs and healing practices with Western medicine. Her "giveaway" to the larger AIDS community is more than just basic information, it is an inspiring example of how we can all learn from the Native American philosophy of illness.
