SUMMARY:What Does it Mean to be Two-Spirited?
DESCRIPTION:Have you heard the term “Two-Spirited” or “Indigiqueer” and wondered what they mean? Join community leaders Duane Gaston’ Aucoin and Julianna Morin for an intimate and candid knowledge-sharing evening to learn about what it means to be Two-Spirited and Indigiqueer within some Indigenous communities\, encompassing cultural\, spiritual\, sexual and gender identity. \nThere is no need to pre-register for this event. All are welcome to come and connect! \nThis event is in partnership with Pembroke Pride. Celebrate with the Pembroke Pride Festival on June 3 & 4\, 2022. #AllTogetherNow \n\nLearn about our Indigenous Leaders \nDuane Gastant’ Aucoin is a Wolf/Yanyedi member of the Teslin Tlingit Council and recently returned home from Vancouver\, BC. \nHe received training from his elders as the lead singer/drummer/dancer for the Deslin Khwan Dancers in the Yukon and has performed with them throughout Canada and the US since 1996. \nAucoin received formal schooling in the First Nation Theatre Training taught by nationally acclaimed director Carol Grey-Eyes. He is currently performing “Cash Creek Charlie” along with Sharon Gramma Susie” Shorty in the stand-up comedy routine “Susie & Charlie”. He has also starred in the First Nation’s Theatre Production “Raven’s Tale” in Whitehorse\, Yukon\, which he also co-wrote and directed. This was featured on APTN’s NEDAA. \nAucoin produced/directed/wrote/starred in “Kichx Anagaat Yatx’i: Children of the Rainbow\,” a celebration of two-Spirited peoples that integrated both live and digital video pieces into one 90-minute production. The world premiere was at the 2003 Out On Screen Queer Film & Video Festival in Vancouver. It won the top award of “Audience Favorite for Best Feature”. It has played at various venues across the country and has received much acclaim and publicity. \nAucoin won the 2003 XtraWest’s Community Achievement Award for Achievement in the Arts for Children on the Rainbow. \nHe was also a nominee for the 2003 Vancouver Entrepreneur of the Year\, “Education” Category. \nIn 2004 Aucoin was the associate producer for the Our City Our Voices Project with the National Film Board of Canada\, a Storyscapes Project designed by Kamala Todd. This project helped the First Nations People living in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside tell their own story and share it with the general public. \nHe received an international award by being named the “International Two-Spirit Male Warrior” at the 19th International Two-Spirit Gathering held in Saskatchewan in 2007. As part of his duties\, he publicly speaks on issues pertaining to Two-Spirited People\, their history\, duties and their rights in First Nations Society. \nAucoin recently completed his latest documentary entitled “My Own Private Lower Post”. In which he journeys with his mother\, Vicky Bob\, who is a survivor of Residential School\, to discover how he too is a survivor. This healing look at the inter-generational effects of Residential School has been quoted as being “enjoyable\, emotional and historic” (Whitehorse Star review). This production has screened international and has moved all who have watched it with it’s simple story of love and forgiveness. It has also screened at all the National Events for the Truth & Reconciliation Commission. Duane promised his mother Vicky before she passed away in 2011 that he would continue telling “our story”. \nIn 2012 he was awarded with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. Both his Tlingit and Acadian Peoples have not had the best relationship with the Crown but Duane decided to receive the medal on behalf of both his peoples.\n“in the past the Crown colonized & deported my Peoples…now they give us medals. This is for them!” explained Duane. \nAucoin is currently performing solo & with Sharon Shorty at various venues around the country as well as working on new video productions. But his most important work continues to be supporting his elders in his community of Teslin to help bring back his Inland Tlingit Language & Culture. He is currently his Yanyeidi Clans representative on the Teslin Tlingit Executive Council. \n\nJulianna Morin\, MSW/RSW identifies as a fat\, white-presenting Indigiqueer woman and is a member of the Bonnechere Algonquin First Nation\, affiliated with the Algonquins of Ontario. Julianna is honoured to live and work in her home community of Omamawenini Anishinaabe-aki and proud to be in ongoing\, daily evolving co-conspiratorship with 2SLGBTQIA+\, BIPOC\, and disability communities.
