Indigenous communities traditionally honored and upheld a variety of genders and sexualities.

Settler colonialism interrupted these practices and left a legacy of colonial mentalities surrounding gender and sexuality. This training introduces core concepts of understanding gender and sexuality, reviews colonial histories of policing Indigenous gender and sexuality expression, and delineates Indigenous reclamations and emerging language to support Indigiqueer and Two-Spirit relatives.

This training was led by Dr. Autumn Asher BlackDeer, a queer anti-colonial scholar-activist from the Southern Cheyenne Nation.
