Two-Spirit Organizing in Montreal, Canada

Pages 29-51 | Published online: 22 Sep 2008
 

SUMMARY

This article traces the authors' involvement in Two-Spirit organizing in Montreal since 1995. The term “Two-Spirit” is often used by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people of Aboriginal descent in both the U.S. and Canada. The authors explore the multi-faceted aspects of organizing within a Two-Spirit community. They begin with an examination of contemporary challenges facing Two-Spirit people within Canadian society and then provide several concrete examples of local organizing, ranging from the creation of an educational video on HIV/AIDS and participation in a collaborative project with a school of social work to national and international alliance-building.
