Meet a Grantee: Two Spirit Society of Denver (Denver, CO)

The society works for community and cultural rejuvenation. Two spirit people held an important historical and spiritual role in Native nations, and their recognition today is considered a crucial element in healing the sacred circle and scars of colonization. Among successes building acceptance within the Native community and awareness in the LGBT community over the past ten years, the organization hosted the 21st International Two spirit Gathering that broke attendance records and built community power and pride across nations.
