In the May 24 edition of Windspeaker, the article AIDS major threat to First Nations quoted Marlene Poitras of the Feather of Hope Society as saying that the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases was two or three times higher on reserves than in the general Canadian population. Sexually transmitted diseases are actually two to three times higher in the First Nations, not just on reserves, than in Canada's non-Native population. Windspeaker apologizes for any inconveniences that this misquote might have caused.
