IllumiNative's senior communications associate Mandy Yeahpau says the event is an important part of the organization's mission to expand the representation of diverse Native identities in pop culture, politics and beyond.
The Wagon Burners show is just one step in a larger IllumiNative campaign that aims to highlight the many diverse identities within Native communities, including Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ folks."The event that we're planning is a small piece of a larger campaign that we're working on this year. We haven't officially announced it just yet, but we call it our Good Relatives campaign," Yeahpau explains.
Separating"2S" from"LGBTQIA" acknowledges that while the communities may overlap, they are not interchangeable, and the term"Two-Spirit" is just an approximate translation of something that is actually much more complex and varied within Indigenous languages. Says Yeahpau,"The terminology is newer, as far as that word, but being gender-bending or nonbinary has been around before colonization.
