Re-establishing 2Spirits within our Nations

[Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse @jodi_stonehouse]

Alberta now has more measles cases than the entire U.S. - 1314 here vs. 1288 there.

This outbreak is the result of a government that refuses to take public health seriously.

Albertans deserve leadership that protects our health - not division and distraction.

[National Congress of American Indians @NCAI1944]

On this day in 1978, the Longest Walk began—a 3,200-mile march from Alcatraz to D.C. Native leaders and allies raised national awareness, defeated anti-tribal bills, and secured the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. NCAI honors this legacy and ongoing fight.

Happy Pride and Indigenous History Month! June is a celebration of 2 Spirit people! For many gender and sexually diverse Indigenous people, colonization has made it difficult for us to live in our truths. We're here to break down barriers, rewrite narratives 1/2

[E2S - Edmonton 2 Spirit Society @e2s_2]

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. A day to stand up against oppression and harm. A day to remember that diversity has always existed in our communities. We can no longer tolerate the hatred.

Hate is not in our teachings.

[E2S - Edmonton 2 Spirit Society @e2s_2]

Our phones are down at this time. We are upgrading our phone services and will be aiming to be up and running later today. Thanks for your patience!

It is with an air of sadness that we would like to inform community that E2S no longer has an office space. Recently, we moved out into a temporary storage unit. A lack of ceremonial space, the building's poor accessibility, and other factors contributed to this decision.
