What is Indigiqueeries?

Indigiqueries offers the chance for Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer people to come together to share space on a range of topics. It exists as a sharing circle, a point of connection for those who experience intersectionality.

Indigiqueries is our way of creating a standard practice of holding space for others with humility, patience and good humour. We strive to build community and inspire transformation with each unique café discussion. It is our mission to mitigate harm by creating a safer space in which all participants feel brave to take part in what are sometimes hard conversations by shedding light on complicated topics. We invite people to share their thoughts in a way that is comfortable for them while respecting one another’s boundaries. Discussion topics have included coming out, urban displacement, family dynamics, sexual health, and so much more.
