Two Spirit People Are Reclaiming Their Land—and Their Identity

Two-Spirit people seem to play an important role when it's about fighting for indigenous rights in North America. Another worthwhile documentary.

This corresponds with the book I'm still reading where some Two-Spirit persons are described as people with more time helping out others because many of them don't have children.

My interest in Two-Spirit people comes from my own being different, and not seeming to fit into what is generally told in the mainstream media. Watching and reading this stuff helps me contemplate my own situation, more than anything that I find under "transgender."

Two Spirit People

One of several documentaries about Native American queer people I’ve watched over the last days. With sequences from the movie “Little Big Man” – now that I see these scenes again, I remember that there was some kind of “gay” person in the movie, but I had totally forgotten about it. Then I thought it was an invention of the script writer, but now I see that it actually refers to traditions that were there. I must have forgotten that type when I tried hard to be a cis-male.
