Welcome to AICAF (American Indian Cancer Foundation) Sacred Circle—a warm, private, and culturally rich community for cancer survivors or those caring for loved ones facing cancer. This free resource is here to help you feel connected, supported, and empowered in your cancer survivor journey. To make the most of this community, we’ve prepared a simple guide to help you get started.
We understand that cancer deeply affects survivors, family, friends, and loved ones. As a cancer survivor or caregiver, you may be balancing many responsibilities while holding space for your family’s culture, traditions, and values. AICAF recognizes that healing
is a lifelong process that goes beyond treatment—it’s about resilience, growth, and honoring the cultural practices that help guide your journey.
AICAF Sacred Circle is designed to bring together those who want to support you while respecting and uplifting your cultural values. It provides an easy way to organize tasks, navigate care plans, manage appointments, and communicate ongoing needs. This tool helps coordinate efforts to offer meaningful, culturally sensitive support for you and your loved ones.
Within your AICAF Sacred Circle, community members can share words of encouragement, offer help, and stay updated with the information you choose to share. This is a space where your culture and community can come together to support you every step of the way.
Welcome—let’s walk this journey together, honoring tradition and healing.
