Native Americans in Philanthropy’s Post

While the term “two-spirit” and its increasing visibility may seem new, Native American and Indigenous peoples have a long history of recognizing two-spirit people within their communities before colonization. In this 2S/Two-Spirit People guide, we uncover the history of the term, its sacred meaning, and guidelines for its usage.⁠ ⁠ We want to emphasize that collective language concerning Indigenous people is complex and has important nuances. The following is intended as an introduction and starting point for further education. ⁠ ⁠ #LGBTQ #TwoSpirit #LGBTQIA2S #NativeAmerican #NativeHeritage #Indigenous #IndigenousHeritage #Native #IndigenousIdentity #WeAreIndigenous
