At the intersection of being 2-spirit, we know how much more significantly queer people are targeted just in the general population. Then within the indigenous community, if you add it onto being a woman and being indigenous, being 2-spirit exponentially causes harm. Our access to resources is exponentially less there, from the policing service and all of those types of things.
I remember working at the youth centre nearly 30 years ago. We had a young, 2-spirit individual who attended. He was murdered in the streets of Regina just for being who he was. Things like that were never reported. That part of it wasn't reported. I think that's where, even as an academic, the statistics and the data are not there.
I think it's partly because people like to erase it as well and not consider it as an issue.
