Two Spirit Drum at BAAITS 2026

Описание: A few clips taken of my drum siblings and I singing with the BAAITS Drum, Feb 14, 2026 at the 15th Annual Bay Area American Indian Two Spirit Society Pow Wow. Thats me in the turquoise Seminole patchwork shirt. I am smiling a lot because I am so happy when I get to sing with the drum.

Singing with my 2Spirit drum this weekend because those of us who belong to targeted communities must insist on coming together despite the threats. We are targeted as brown people, as Natives, as queer, as women, as gender-non-conforming- but we are still singing and we are still here!

TwoSpirit is a term that refers to traditional Native roles assigned to people who today would be called gay, lesbian, trans, or gender non-conforming. Two Spirits are believed to have the spirit of both genders in one body and that can manifest in a number of ways in terms of gender presentation or sexuality. 2Spirits oftne have a spiritual and cultural role in the tribe or community. We are the artists, the ceremonialists, and we are the ones who teach and/or mentor the children.

The members of my drum come from many different nations. We have diff gender identities. We are from many different places and are of different ages but we share a commitment to fulfilling the 2spirit role in our communities in whatver way we can.
