An interview with Harlan Pruden, a prominent Cree two-spirit activist based out of Vancouver about the role of two-spirit individuals within both indigenous communities and the queer community. He discusses the importance of holding space for two-spirit people, as well as how returning to traditional indigenous philosophies surrounding two-spirit people are assisted through reconciliation efforts, language revitalization, and the importance of decolonization.

National Indigenous People's Day 2018 - Interview with Harlan Pruden

After headlines from Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, Democracy Watch presents an hour of Indigenous-focused, local current affairs in honour of National Day of Indigenous Peoples. The show begins with Rehmatullah Sheikh, who reported on Vancouver's first urban Heiltsuk language classes as part of UBC's Reporting In Indigenous Communities program. After that, we hear an interview lead by Ande Laidman with Vancouver-based Cree scholar and activist, Harlan Pruden. Laidman speaks with Pruden about the nuances of being Indigenous and two-spirited.
