Two-Spirit Identities

Sissy will present an inclusion-based information session on gender and sexually diverse and Indigenous folks, on historical info, on how Two-Spirited Indigenous peoples were at the forefront of their communities before colonization and how that’s changed, traditional roles historically and currently. And the importance of inclusion and acceptance.
