In response to requests from American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, Western States Center partnered with the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, the Center for Native American Youth, and Native Youth Leadership Alliance to develop a resource toolkit for and with young Native leaders.

Indigenizing Love is written to support Native youth, tribal communities, Two-Spirit and Native LGBTQIA+ collectives, community leaders, and partners who intend to better understand and support our Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Uplifting Our Young People

In 2020, Diné Pride will honor our LGBTQ+ Youth who are the movement leaders & changemakers for our Sovereign Nations today. Before Manifest Destiny, the forced removal of Native children to boarding schools, and the Stonewall riots in New York City - our Indigenous gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, & two-spirit family members were revered and honored as sacred beings. Our young people are reclaiming that history & protecting sacred knowledge for the next generation.

LEADERS FOR PRIDE

Long before Stonewall & Obergefell v. Hodges, our Sovereign Nations honored & recognized our existence in history. Being LGBTQ meant you were sacred & revered. That is what we are advocating for - families, sovereignty, & our right to be.
