Queen City Pride Festival 2023

Our two spirit beading event is a beautiful and significant gathering that celebrates the rich cultural heritage and artistic expression of Indigenous communities. The event brings together people who identify as two spirit, a term that has been used by many Indigenous cultures to describe individuals who embody both masculine, feminine, or multiple energies or qualities.

During the event, participants engage in the traditional art of beading, which involves creating intricate patterns/designs using beads of various colours and sizes. This art form has been passed down through generations and is a powerful way for Indigenous peoples to connect with their ancestors and preserve their cultural traditions.
Overall, the two spirit beading event is a powerful and beautiful expression of Indigenous culture, tradition, and identity that deserves respect and appreciation.

Join members of the 2Spirit community and connect to storytelling and tradition together as Treaty Peoples. By learning to bead, we can come together to learn more about our selves, the land, and our community.
