The Two-Spirit team at CBRC is proud to share a short documentary film created in 2024 that celebrates and documents the ongoing resurgence of Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer identity happening across Turtle Island. Recorded during the 2022 Two-Spirit Symposium, with footage from Vancouver’s Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day festivities in March 2023, the film features edifying interviews with Elders, community leaders and Two-Spirit team staff members.
Celebratory and joyous, Two-Spirit Resurgence informs on the historical context of Two-Spirit identity and the work being done by community to counteract the impacts of colonization in order to reclaim the traditional role of Two-Spirit in society and bring sexuality back into the holistic framework of the Medicine Wheel. It was produced in collaboration with Drawing Wisdom Productions.
