This booklet was developed as a learning resource to enhance knowledge and understanding of Indigenous language and culture and the intersections with 2SLGBTQQIA+ identities. The aim of this resource is to elevate the voices of Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ People across Turtle Island and Inuit Nunangat by sharing their experiences and knowledge. This resource was developed for Indigenous youth, who will guide the change needed for a better tomorrow.

Throughout the booklet, you will find the wisdom shared by our Knowledge Keepers about their thoughts and experiences with the intersections of Indigenous and 2SLGBTQQIA+ identities. This booklet begins with a discussion of gender identity and how it relates to language and culture. Then, it explores the roles of Two-Spirit identities and gender diversity in Indigenous cultures. Also included in this booklet are activities to facilitate sharing and reflection on gender identity. Lastly, this booklet lists wellness resources of supports and programs that anyone experiencing distress or wanting more resources on mental health or the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community may access.
