In this episode, Marcelle and Raimi are in conversation with a very special guest, Nehiyaw (Cree) Elder Richard Jenkins. Elder Richard Jenkins chats with us about what being an elder means to him, as well as 2-spirit as a placeholder term for gender and sexual diversity, and ᐁᔨᐦᑵᐤ (eyihkwew; not man, not woman, something in between) as a conceptual way of being that can see and understand multiple perspectives. We are grateful for Richard sharing teachings with us as he touches on the Nehiyaw practice of noninterference as a core principle for how to guide and support children. The trio, as always, finish with recommendations, including; The Travelers of Casteia by Beck DeTrempe, 2 Spirits in Motion Society, and The Non-Binary Bunny by Maia Kobabe.
The 2-Spirit documentary mentioned by Marcelle is “Re:Membering Stories of the 2Spirit Indigenous HIV/AIDS Movement” and can be found on the CAAN (Communities, Alliances and Networks) website.
