Talking with KileyMay about how colonialism has affected Indigenous gender identities
Meet Kiley May: a Hotinonshón:ni Mohawk and Cayuga storyteller who helps others understand what it means to be two-spirit.
FLARE chatted with May about what it means to be two-spirit, how colonialism has affected Indigenous gender identities and how they feel about being honoured by Pride Toronto. Here’s what they shared. It got to a point in recent history where Indigenous people—specifically two-spirit, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people—came together at a conference in Manitoba in 1990 and came up with a term that would unite everybody. The term two-spirit [was created] because people realized that we had lost our traditional words to describe ourselves. They came up with this present-day English term to describe our experience of being Indigenous and LGBTQI+.
