WEBINAR Sunday Jan. 19: *"Silent No More: The Two-Spirit Journey"*

 Reprinted as is from email with appreciation for some important background at the bottom.


My work (Toward Right Relationship with Native Peoples,
friendspeaceteams.org/trr) is putting on this webinar in two weeks, and I
thought many of y'all might be interested!

*"Silent No More: The Two-Spirit Journey"*

Candi Brings Plenty (they/she) is a trans, nonbinary, Two Spirit, Lakota
parent. They are a Healing Justice practitioner whose parents are survivors
of the boarding schools.

Jordan Decker (he/him) is a Cherokee trans guy. He is passionate about both
trauma healing work and youth suicide prevention.

Candi and Jordan are offering this powerful webinar to teach about their
ancestral history, to expose the harm of today’s political climate, and to
help participants learn how to change our future. They model simple
language to speak to people who say ignorant or hateful things about Two
Spirit folks -- from a place of confidence, compassion, and heartfelt
communication.

*Sunday, January 19, 4-6 pm ET; 3-5pm CT; 2-4pm MT; 1-3pm PT*

I live on Duwamish land, aka Seattle, in the Lake
Washington-Cedar-Sammamish watershed. I'm near the Salish Sea (Puget Sound)
and the volcano called Tahoma (Mt Rainier). The Duwamish are one of many
Coast Salish nations, and the language native to this region is Lushootseed
(learn
<https://tulaliplushootseed.com/about-dx%ca%b7l%c9%99sucid-lushootseed/>).
The Duwamish signed the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott, but the white
settlers failed to hold up their side of that treaty. Now, the federal
government refuses to even acknowledge the Duwamish Tribe, claiming that 10
years of missing records means that they no longer exist. The Duwamish
people <https://www.duwamishtribe.org/> continue to fight for federal
recognition, and have created a program called "Real Rent
<https://www.realrentduwamish.org/>" for settlers to redistribute resources
back to the Tribe.
