Life for Two-Spirit folks has its own unique challenges in Saskatchewan. Tanzy Janvier is a founder of Indigenous Teachers For Two-Spirit Youth and Lori Campbell is associate vice president Indigenous Engagement at the University of Regina and they are both strong Two-Spirit leaders. They explain how colonialism and the patriarch destroyed indigenous people’s view of gender and societal roles regarding the gender binary. How did residential schools and the Sixties Scoop affect Two-Spirit people? What is it like living in extremely isolated communities as a Two-Spirit person? And is there hope for future generations?
