2SIQ: Still Here Fest

Join us this Indigenous Peoples Day to celebrate the existence, resistance, and creative genius of Two-Spirit Indigequeer people. 2SIQ: Still Here Fest! When colonizers stepped foot on Turtle Island they targeted Two-Spirit Indigenous people for elimination. Spreading like a disease, colonial forces have imposed gender regimes on First Nations and Indigenous people all over the world. Since time immemorial, Two-Spirit and Indigequeer people are still here and continue to survive and thrive against all odds, providing leadership and medicine for our communities as they always have. Two-Spirit & Indigequeer is more than just a reclaimed identity for indigenous people. It is a committed role to the Land, to the Next Generation, to our Ancestors. We share our experiences through storytelling unique to one's self, bridging connections throughout the continent. Still Here is a celebration of Two-Spirit Indigequeer living artist expressions, a miraculous existence and survival for over 500 years.
