Two-Spirited People Web Resources

Collected by: University of Winnipeg

Archived since: Oct, 2019

Description:

The mission of the Two-Spirit Archives at the University of Winnipeg Library is to develop an internationally-renowned centre for research that supports the needs of the Two-Spirit community; makes Two-Spirit people visible in our documentary heritage; and supports the research, teaching, learning, and community mandates of the University. It is guided in its development by the Two-Spirit Archives Advisory Council, which ensures Two-Spirit people are central to preserving the history of their contributions to society and in strengthening their community. In collaboration with the Two-Spirited People of Manitoba, Inc., the University of Winnipeg Library has curated and captured a selection of webpages, video, social media, news coverage, and resources that pertain to Two-Spirit people. This growing collection covers a diverse range of topics, which include websites of Two-Spirit organizations in North America, film and video created by and about Two-Spirited people, written resources and tools, Two-Spirit autobiographies and narratives, visual art, archival collections, conferences and outreach, and social media. This is an ongoing web-archiving project that will continue to grow as more Two-Spirited material continues to be published on the Internet. We gratefully acknowledge the knowledge, support, and resources shared by the Two-Spirited People of Manitoba, Inc.
