Project Proposal

My goal for my final is to learn more about two spirit people in a historical and modern context. This course introduced this term to me which is a shame I never knew, as someone who loves digging into their roots. After learning about "two spirit" I have many questions: What were the two spirit communities like in the past? Are there any tribes that are non-accepting of two spirit people? If so is it a symptom of colonization? How did two spirit people fare through colonization?  What kind of roles did two spirit people have? Did they vary from tribe to tribe? Why is it so difficult to find any modern pictures of two spirt people on Google? What are the roles of modern day two spirit people? Where does the  two spirit community fit into the LGBTQ community?
