About this event

In honor of June being both Indigenous History Month and the beginning to Pride season, this webinar is aimed to commemorate both events, by celebrating the Two-Spirit identity. We will be featuring speakers who are Two-Spirited, to share experiences of intersectionality, and the impact that this identity factor has had on shaping their lives. As well, we will discuss some effective ways to become an ally toward the Two-Spirit community.
