Honoring our Relations: Building Awareness of Indigiqueer and Two-Spirit Experiences

The Native American House and the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center at Illinois invite you to join us for programs and activities that highlight how Indigenous knowledge systems have long embraced expansive understandings of gender and sexuality, while celebrating the enduring presence of Indigiqueer and Two-Spirit communities.

Location: Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum
The Native American House and Gender and Sexuality Resource Center invites
DeShawn William, Mayor of Urbana, and Debra Frank Feinen, Mayor of Champaign,
to deliver a joint reading of the Indigenous Peoples’ Day proclamation.
Following the proclamation, university leaders will offer a welcome to attendees.

Stay for Dr. Rosalyn LaPier discussion 
Anti-trans Policies Jeopardize Indigenous Peoples’ Rights & Religious Expression
from 11-11:50am. 
Dr. LaPier will discuss how Indigenous people are threatened by anti-trans policies,
which will result in individual suffering and the diminishing of
Indigenous peoples’ rights to practice their own religions.
