Primary Source Set: native american voices and activism
Our “Voices and Activism” primary source sets highlight personal stories and diverse activism within the LGBTQ community. They explore topics including the intersections of race and sexuality, building solidarity within queer community, the need to preserve and teach LGBTQ history related to people of color, and moments of joy and love. The sources selected here document the lives of Native American queer people, including Two-Spirit people.
