Storytime opened with a blessing by two-spirit Elder L. The event was sponsored by Standing Up for Racial Justice, Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits, Our Family Coalition, and Golden Gate Mothers Group.
"As far as we know there hasn't been a book with a two-spirit kid - everyone deserves to see themselves in print." "Visibility of indigenous kids characters is low to begin with," said Angel Adeyoha. The authors noted that all kids should be able to see themselves in books. We hope for good things for the next generation so good representation in these kinds of stories can help build self-esteem." "I think it would have been great to have something like this during my time growing up. "Currently, one of my nephews, age 13, is dealing with his own gender issues," Lakes, a Chickasaw, told the Bay Area Reporter. Lakes said there was a reason why she participated in the storytelling time.
"47,000 Beads" was read aloud to the kids by drag queen Landa Lakes, who identifies as two spirit. When Peyton shares that she can't be comfortable wearing a dress anymore, her auntie Eyota asks some friends for help to get Peyton what she needs.

We ask that you support our Indigenous friends and family.About 30 kids and their parents gathered in the Mission Sunday afternoon for the first Two-Spirit Storytime. Here’s an article to help shift our thoughts and actions around this day.īasic info on the tradition of Day of Mourning. This holiday has had several reinventions and one hell of a misinformation, propaganda, and PR campaign. 2020 is a year filled with chances for solidarity and growth and ways to show up for each other. This is the 400th year since the Mayflower landed in the land that the Wampanoag people belong to. The first declaration of “thanksgiving” that was recorded by white settlers was to commemorate a massacre of Indigenous people. We urge our community members working toward racial justice and solidarity to read up on the real history and the Indigenous movement work being done every year around this holiday to re-center Indigenous voices in the narrative of colonization. We realize that many people observe this day without thinking about or being aware of the history.
