Doris Peltier has been an advocate for HIV/AIDS since she was diagnosed 15 years ago.

Her latest battle has been to decolonize how research is conducted on Indigenous patients, especially women.

For Aboriginal AIDS Awareness week, APTN’s Tom Fennario caught up with Peltier to talk about her life and activism.
