OKLAHOMA – The 2011 Tulsa Two Spirits Gathering is scheduled to take place Apr. 15-18 at the Osage Hills State Park, in Oklahoma.
According to Native Out, this is a yearly event hosted and funded by the Tulsa Two Spirits Society, Two Spirit Society of Denver, and the Two-Spirit Council of Wichita.
The gathering’s program will include workshops on traditional and contemporary Native American culture, Pow Wows, stompdancing, celebrations, Native faith, and other related activities. There will be people attending from the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The Tulsa Two Spirits Society is a non-profit Native American GLBT Collective. They seek to affirm and embody positive traditional and modern Two Spirit identities, and in so doing, be valued members of their communities. Education, cultural pre-ser-vation and advocacy are their goals and priorities, and they are allied with similar organizations throughout Turtle Island.
This is a great chance to meet and learn from Native American LGBT peoples and the Two Spirit culture. For more information or to register for this event, visit the 2011 Tulsa Two Spirits Gathering website at denver-two-spirit.com.
