Celebrating Pride in the Indigenous community – a video playlist
In honor of Pride weekend, echoX has curated a playlist exploring the stories and legacies of what it means to be a two-spirit person or LGBTQ+ in the Indigenous community. This is part of our initiative to directly highlight community voices.
