About the Event:

This IndigeQueer Gathering will be a special event exploring the rich and complex intersections of Queer and Native histories and identities. This gathering honors the depth, resilience, and vibrancy of past, present, and future “IndigiQueer” and Two Spirit experiences. 

Keynote Speaker - Clyde Hall:

The event will begin with a keynote by Clyde Hall (he/she/they), a distinguished activist, advocate, Shoshone leader, and founding figure of the contemporary Two Spirit movement. Hall will share insights from his decades of advocacy, including his involvement with Gay American Indians and his lifelong work uplifting Indigenous LGBTQIA2S+ voices.

Panel Discussion:

Following the keynote, a panel of local, Native Queer and Two Spirit leaders and thinkers will engage in a thoughtful discussion on how to approach and understand Queer Indigenous history. Topics will include the evolution of language and terminology, personal journeys, cultural continuities, and community advocacy.
