#TwoSpirit #Powwows: Shared Resources To Help Celebrate #Indigiqueer Joy
Two-Spirit powwows are forming out of community needs and more continue to pop up each year.
by Nika Bartoo-Smith, Underscore Native News + ICT June 5, 2026
"Two-Spirit powwows have been a growing space in nearly the last 15 years all across Turtle Island for Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer community members and allies.
"From one of the longest-running dedicated Two-Spirit powwows in San Francisco to the second annual in Montana, Two-Spirit powwows have two common goals: to share resources and celebrate Indigiqueer joy.
" 'We want to honor and celebrate the fact that even through #genocide, even through #assimilation, Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer folks are alive and thriving, and are contributing in endless ways to their own families, to their own communities, and to the world,' said #AngelFabian, executive director of the Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits. Fabian is Ben’Zaa (Zapotecx) and Xicanx.
"As the #Trump administration has brought with it a wave of attacks on the rights of 2SLGBTQ+ people, especially trans rights, the importance of Two-Spirit powwows, societies and spaces are essential and continue to grow.
" 'We’re not going to go away, we’re not going to allow you to erase us and erase our culture, despite what the federal government and state legislatures continue to try and do,' said #DavidHerrera, Mestizo and adopted Blackfeet. Herrera is the co-founder and executive director of the Montana Two Spirit Society.
"Here’s a quick glance at the three Two-Spirit powwows that take place across the country, with two happening this summer."

In 1994, Cathy Freeman caused controversy when she ignored warnings and carried the Aboriginal flag during her victory lap at the Commonwealth Games in Canada. Arthur Tunstall (Australia’s Chef de Mission for the games) publicly condemned her for this act and an incredibly polarising debate in our country ensued.
At just 13 years old, I was angered by this. I could not understand why she was not allowed to fly the flag of her people when representing her country at the games. I could not believe people were condemning this women we should have been so proud of and celebrating as the national icon she is. So I took it upon myself to write to Mr. Tunstall, expressing my disappointment, and encouraging him to celebrate our indigenous culture.
I never did hear back from Mr. Tunstall, but I am glad that today, our Indigenous peoples can now fly the flag freely and proudly, and that the flag is now flown outside of every government building; federal, state and local.
I was on the right side of history when I wrote to Arthur Tunstall in 1994 and I will be on the right side of history again as I continue to fight for proper indigenous recognition, respect and inclusion in this country.
Happy 50th Birthday Cathy and thank you for being such an inspiration to 13 year old me, and for giving me the courage to stand up against those who ridicule me, for wanting to create a fair and equitable society that is inclusive of everyone. -
