Niizh Manidoowag: Two-Spirit

This publication centres on Indigenous perspectives, specifically the voices of two-spirit people. The purpose is to engage in learning both from and with Indigenous Peoples about the historical and contemporary realities for two-spirit or Indigiqueer folx, that may also identify as LGBTQ+. This resource seeks to create space for students to see themselves reflected in their classrooms, affirm their experiences, and celebrate two-spirit voices. ETFO acknowledges the ongoing impacts of colonialism and is committed to providing culturally relevant and responsive resources for members.

This resource will support conversations in the workplace and in the classroom as both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples continue to grow in relationship with one another. This resource provides a starting point and some shared language to begin building capacity, as well as providing culturally relevant and responsive learning materials that reflect the lived experiences of two-spirit (2S) people and communities for all students.
