Two Spirit is a term used within Indigenous communities to identify a complex cultural, spiritual, sexual, and gender identity. Two Spirit people frequently hold key positions within their communities as leaders, counsellors, healers, and other roles; they have also faced erasure, hatred, and attempted assimilation throughout history. As part of both National Indigenous History Month and Pride we will celebrate everything that is powerful and glorious about Two Spirit identity.
Speakers will include:
Laura Couchie, Anishinaabe, Nipissing First Nation
Tristan, Anishinaabe
NaWalka Geeshy Meegwun aka Lyndon George, Anishnaabe Ojokwe
