In this episode, we sit down with Ren Jager, a Two-Spirit Métis Harm Reduction Program Specialist with MNBC, and Topher Burke, a Two-Spirit Métis leader of their chartered Métis community and the Regional Two-Spirit Representative for MNBC Region 4, for a powerful discussion on Two-Spirit identity, cultural reclamation, and creating safe spaces within Métis communities. Together, we explore the historical roles of Two-Spirit people prior to colonization, the lasting impacts of colonialism on gender roles, and the work being done today to reconnect people with their cultural history. They share stories of advocacy, healing, and community building. Tune in to hear why connection to land, spirit, self, and community remains at the heart of healing, and how making spaces for Two-Spirit voices helps strengthen the circle for everyone.
