TWO-SPIRIT OF PRIDE

THURSDAY JULY 15TH AT 6:30PM (ONLINE VIA ZOOM)

One of the atrocities of colonization is the erasure of identity and social role. The term “Two-Spirit” originated in Winnipeg, Canada in 1990 during the third annual intertribal Native American/First Nations gay and lesbian conference. It comes from the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) words niizh manitoag (two-spirits). Two Spirit is used by many Indigenous folks across Turtle Island, along with Indigiqueer, LGBTIQ, and named identities in their language.  

Learn about Two-Spirit through listening to a Two-Spirit person’s journey through barriers of colonization to claim their identity and the importance of culture and storytelling for healing and decolonizing. Their story will include their journey to identity, what inspires them and continues to motivate them on their journey.
