From the creators: "We join forces with two amazing Indigenous writers and scholars who are making waves in the literary scene with their poetry, prose, and fiction. They weave words and worlds to help us see and understand queer indigenous identities and bodies, the ways that settler colonialism has disrupted and distorted our relationships, and the power of asserting voice in spaces not meant for us." Interviewees are Joshua Whitehead (who is Ojibwe & Cree, from the Peguis First Nation, located in Treaty 1 territory, and is Two Spirit IndigiQueer) and Billiy-Ray Belcourt (who is from the Driftpile Cree Nation and is a PhD student in the Department of English & Film Studies at the University of Alberta); work from both of these authors is featured in this resource list.There is a small mention of sexual assault about halfway through the episode, so teachers should listen through first, warn their classes and be prepared with resources for survivors.

Really great resource for all teachers when teaching about Two-Spirit peoples and the sacred roles they've had in communities.

A series of interviews from Queer and/or trans and two-spirit Indigenous people between the ages of 18-35 living in Toronto. From the author: "This zine is about research I did on how young trans, queer and two-spirit* Indigenous people use the word two-spirit. I interviewed fellow young queer, trans, and two-spirit Indigenous people here in Toronto about two-spirit as a term – how we use it, how we see our communities using it, and the relationships between two-spirit and other words that are related to our genders, sexualities, and who we are as Indigenous peoples." This resource is also great for introducing high school students to qualititative university-level methods in an accessible way; the author discusses hypothesis-building, choosing methodology, and interview processes.

Ten-year-old Agatha, an Inuit girl, is the reluctant heroine in this tapestry of Arctic tales set in the 1950s. Each tale has its origins in Kusugak’s own childhood experiences.

Eight-year-old Margaret Pokiak has set her sights on learning to read, even though it means leaving her village in the high Arctic. Faced with unceasing pressure, her father finally agrees to let her make the five-day journey to attend school, but he warns Margaret of the terrors of Residential schools. At school Margaret soon encounters the Raven, a black-cloaked nun with a hooked nose and bony fingers that resemble claws. She immediately dislikes the strong-willed young Margaret. Intending to humiliate her, the heartless Raven gives gray stockings to all the girls — all except Margaret, who gets red ones. In an instant Margaret is the laughingstock of the entire school. In the face of such cruelty, Margaret refuses to be intimidated and bravely gets rid of the stockings. Although a sympathetic nun stands up for Margaret, in the end it is this brave young girl who gives the Raven a lesson in the power of human dignity. Complemented by archival photos from Margaret Pokiak-Fenton’s collection and striking artworks from Liz Amini-Holmes, this inspiring first-person account of a plucky girl’s determination to confront her tormentor will linger with young readers. *Ten Best Children’s books of the Year, The Globe and Mail USBBY Outstanding International Books Honor List PubWest Book Design Awards, Bronze Nautilus Award, Silver Skipping Stones Honor Book Information Book Award, Honor Book Best Books for Kids & Teens, starred selection, Canadian Children’s Book Centre First Nation Communities Read Selection Sheila A.
