August 20 – 11:00 am AK |12:00 pm PST |1:00 pm MST | 2:00 pm CST |3:00 pm EST. Presenter: Lenny Hayes, Tate Topa Consulting. The presenter will give an overview of information about the historical roles and identities of Two-Spirit/Native LGBTQ people and how Native American Historical and Intergenerational Trauma has impacted this community. History tells us that because of the effects of Historical and Intergenerational Trauma this once honored and respected individual is now ostracized within our tribal communities. The presenter will present information about the high rates of violence, sexual assault and the vulnerabilities of our Two-Spirit/Native LGBTQ adult, youth, and community. The presenter will provide ways in which Tribal Colleges and Universities can ensure they are responding holistically to LGBTQ2S students who are impacted by sexual violence while also discussing how the Two-Spirit/Native LGBTQ community is individually and collectively trying to bring balance, beauty, and acceptance back into our tribal communities.
