The two-spirit community has initiated a new project called Queering Indigenization further to build bonds with students at the University of Manitoba. The first event of a three part series took place on October 11.
The program idea was born when students, staff, and faculty shared their concerns about the lack of queer voices in the Indigenization work happening at the University. This program hopes to connect the two-spirit community closer to their culture and identity.
The community building event was part one of a three-part series on Queering Indigenization. The second part will include land-based events with teachings from two-spirit knowledge keepers Charlotte Nolin and Barbara Bruce. Lastly, this project will end with a two-spirit conference in 2025.
The next event with Queering Indigenization will be a community sweat hosted on November 23rd at the University of Manitoba. The land-based events and the conference will be announced within the coming weeks.
