Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance

Published purpose

Through this 11-month project, the Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance will develop community-informed solutions to key barriers and gaps facing 2SLGBTQ+ communities. This will be achieved by organizing and holding a Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ national gathering for cultural connection and support, and by creating a Youth Council to build leadership skills and cultural identity. Furthermore, the organization will remove barriers to 2S equality through a needs assessment, community consultations, intergenerational knowledge sharing practices and Elder engagement. At the end of the project, Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance will have identified best practices for trauma-informed and resilience focused 2SLGBTQ+ programming.
