Uniting Resilience is dedicated to restoring and celebrating the integral role of Two-Spirit relatives within the Native American community. We encompass creating a space for spiritual, cultural, and artistic expression, fostering healing within our diverse communities.
Native American Cultures have held Two-Spirit members, feminine males and masculine females in high respect, as healers, mediators, shamans, visionaries, and leaders – focusing on their spiritual gifts. The Native societies see a person’s basic character as a reflection of their spirit. Everything that exists is thought to come from the Spirit World.
