The RCAAQ’s Observatory of Urban Indigenous Realities invites you to Psiw‑ote ntolonapemok (meaning “all my relations” in Wolastoqey Latuwewakon). This will be an opportunity for mobilization and knowledge sharing on issues related to gender, two-spirit identity and the diversity of sexual orientations. The event will shed light on lived experience in urban Indigenous communities that continues to be largely undocumented, with a view to fostering dialogue among different sectors and to deepening knowledge through an interweaving of Indigenous, community, academic and institutional perspectives.
