Hi Deborah and Max,

I thought folks at PCC might be interested in this resource. There was
obviously a lot of work put into it. The vocabulary list might be
especially useful to many people. Please share. Thanks.

> During my discussions with Native American youth and Two-Spirit and Native
> LGBTQIA+ community members, I heard time and again that building support
> and resources for Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ community members continues to be
> a priority across Indian Country. Many of us are seeking to better
> understand and reclaim traditional values, culture, and languages; all of
> which help strengthen our communities to resist centuries of settler
> colonialism and colonized thinking that devalue our right to thrive.
> Together, tribal leaders, Native youth councils, and other organizing
> groups are building sustainable relationships through shared Indigenous
> knowledge.
>
> To support this positive momentum in Indian Country, I teamed up with
> three amazing Two-Spirit and Queer Native youth to create a new resource –
> a Toolkit – to support leaders who want to build inclusion in our
> communities. This interactive tool assists youth collectives, community
> leaders, and partners to better understand and support our Two-Spirit and
> Native LGBTQIA+ relatives. We named it *Indigenizing Love* and it is my
> hope is that this resource will help us reclaim Indigenous knowledge about
> genders and love, and ultimately help us become better partners to support
> our Two-Spirit and Native LGBTQIA+ communities.

> The *Indigenizing Love *Toolkit — produced by Western States Center in
> partnership with the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, the Center for
> Native American Youth, and Native Youth Leadership Alliance — initiates
> conversations that build understanding from an Indigenous perspective about
> gender roles and identity, and provides discussion guides and resources to
> promote inclusion efforts and create systemic change that will positively
> impact the next seven generations.
>
> Together, we can encourage communities in Indian Country and beyond to
> honor and become more inclusive of our Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ relatives.
> To do this, we must actively acknowledge and reclaim our cultures and
> languages, and take action to Indigenize Love. I hope this resource lives
> up to its aspirations — and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
>
> * The time for Indigenizing Love is long overdue: *Request your copy of
> the toolkit right now and let me know what you think!
