A photo taken of the panel of the inaugural event of the Akwesasne Safe Zone, including Jessica Danforth, Shara Francis-Herne, Akwirateka Martin, and Eileen Cook, as well as others. The event included a panel discussion about what it means to be Two Spirited before colonial influence, and healthy relationships and ideologies. There were also many displays showing healthy activities, native midwifery, effects and ways to prevent HIV-AIDS, and family services as well as door prizes and a very moving movie.

I would like to thank everyone involved in putting this event together and say it's about time we had something like this in Akwesasne. Niawenkowa! -Jake L.
