Two-Spirited People Web Resources

Collected by: University of Winnipeg

Archived since: Oct, 2019

Description:

The mission of the Two-Spirit Archives at the University of Winnipeg Library is to develop an internationally-renowned centre for research that supports the needs of the Two-Spirit community; makes Two-Spirit people visible in our documentary heritage; and supports the research, teaching, learning, and community mandates of the University. It is guided in its development by the Two-Spirit Archives Advisory Council, which ensures Two-Spirit people are central to preserving the history of their contributions to society and in strengthening their community. In collaboration with the Two-Spirited People of Manitoba, Inc., the University of Winnipeg Library has curated and captured a selection of webpages, video, social media, news coverage, and resources that pertain to Two-Spirit people. This growing collection covers a diverse range of topics, which include websites of Two-Spirit organizations in North America, film and video created by and about Two-Spirited people, written resources and tools, Two-Spirit autobiographies and narratives, visual art, archival collections, conferences and outreach, and social media. This is an ongoing web-archiving project that will continue to grow as more Two-Spirited material continues to be published on the Internet. We gratefully acknowledge the knowledge, support, and resources shared by the Two-Spirited People of Manitoba, Inc.

Title: Two Spirits Documentary

URL: http://twospirits.org/

Description: TWO SPIRITS interweaves the tragic story of a mother’s loss of her son with a revealing look at a time when the world wasn’t simply divided into male and female, and many Native American cultures held places of honor for people of integrated genders. Fred Martinez was nádleehí, a male-bodied person with a feminine nature, a special gift according to his ancient Navajo culture. But the place where two discriminations meet is a dangerous place to live, and Fred became one of the youngest hate-crime victims in modern history when he was brutally murdered at sixteen. Between tradition and controversy, sex and spirit, and freedom and fear, lives the truth—the bravest choice you can make is to be yourself.

URL: http://www.2spirits.com/

Description: The 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations were created to honour their ancestral past and reclaim their Aboriginal identity. Since European colonization, the existence of the Two Spirit community has been systematically denied and culturally alienated from the Aboriginal identity. 2-Spirit members bear witness to this activity in the form of racism, sexism and homophobia in the courts, the streets, the education system, and the media and in other lesbian and gay organizations within the dominant Canadian society. They provide prevention education and support for 2-Spirit, including First Nations, metis and Inuit people living with or at risk for HIV and related co-infections in the Greater Toronto Area and base their work on indigenous philosophies of wholistic health and wellness.

Title: Health and Safety Issues for Aboriginal Transgender/Two Spirit People in Manitoba

URL: https://www.homelesshub.ca/resource/health-and-safety-issues-aboriginal-transgendertwo-spirit-people-manitoba/

Description: A community-based needs assessment funded by Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada was conducted following OCAP principles in order to gain specific knowledge of the safety and secuity concerns, the service and support experiences, and the service and support needs of the transgender and Two Spirit people of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. Participants provided quantitative and qualitative data by completing questionnaires. Data was analyzed using Epi Info and content analysis. Twenty-seven of our 75 participants identified as Aboriginal. The assessment shows that participants are at high risk for serious threats to health, quite apart from the needs for access to sex reassignment procedures. Many live in poverty or near-poverty, experience high levels of emotional distress, and high exposure to hostility and violence from a variety of sources in everyday life. Findings were similar in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal participants in many respects, with the Aboriginal participants having higher levels of poverty and correspondingly higher levels of concerns, experiences and needs associated with living in poverty. Levels of known STI and HIV infections are uch higher among participants than in the general population, and especially among male-born Aboriginal participants. Key recommendations include establishing a Centre of Excellence in trans care; an information campaign for trans people throughout the region, distribution of care and referral protocol throughout the health system, trans-competence training for first responders in emergency and police services.

Description: Kent Monkman, born in Canada in 1965, is a Cree artist who is widely known for his provocative interventions into Western European and American art history. He explores themes of colonization, sexuality, loss, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Indigenous experiences—across a variety of mediums, including painting, film/video, performance, and installation. Monkman’s gender-fluid alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle often appears in his work as a time-traveling, shape-shifting, supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze to challenge received notions of history and Indigenous peoples.

Title: Face-to-Face with Jack Saddleback

URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJs4fy-XDrI

Description: Jack is a Cree two-spirit transgender man. Born a biological female, he came to understand that his inner identity didn’t match his outer experience. As a gender-queer child, Jack struggled with constant bullying. Jack’s mental health deteriorated throughout his teenage years resulting in a severe depression and ultimately a suicide attempt at 15. Jack’s road to recovery has been challenging, dealing with stigma, discrimination, and especially a lack of adequate services in rural Alberta. Jack’s appreciation for his family’s devotion pushed him to ACT!ON such as applying for the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s Youth Council. As the former University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union’s Pride Centre Coordinator, and the current USSU Vice President of Student Affairs, Jack is a strong leader for mental health. Jack has also helped to create “safe-space” for queer people within First Nations cultural ceremonies by establishing gender-neutral sweats and pipe-ceremonies on campus. Jack’s culture plays a huge role in his well-being. To be able to partake in ceremonies that celebrate all aspects of his identity helps him to continue to take an active role in mental health advocacy. Jack recognizes that all people have a mental health and we owe it to ourselves to talk about it. For Jack, ACT!ON is a must.
