We are excited to announce that we will be partnering with TransCare+ in 2024! Once our resources are integrated there, this website will direct route you to our space on their website, where you will continue to be able to access our content.
Two-Spirit, Indigiqueer, and Indigenous LGBTQIAA+
Sexual and gender diversity has always existed in Indigenous communities. It is due to the impacts of colonization and residential schools that ideas around gender diversity shifted. Two-Spirit, Indigiqueer and Indigenous trans and gender-diverse folks across Turtle Island are reclaiming their identities and cultivating and nurturing safe spaces for their 2SLGBTQIAA+ peers. Queerness is sacred. Two-Spirit is sacred.
