Blurb:

The term “Two-Spirit” is relatively new. Dr. Myra Laramee (Fisher River Cree Nation) first shared the term with others at a conference for LGBT First Nations people that was held in Winnipeg in 1990. The term “two-spirit” was subsequently adopted and used by growing numbers of Indigenous people from many different Native nations across North America.
