Gay Pride Celebration in NYC

This 12-minute video documents a pivotal conference held in New York City from July 1-3, 1991, where Native American voices explore the intersection of Two-Spirit identity and HIV.
Featuring insightful interviews, the video highlights the lived experiences, challenges, and resilience of Two-Spirit individuals within the broader context of LGBTQ+ advocacy. Taking place alongside the Stonewall/Gay Pride celebrations, this gathering served as a significant moment of visibility and community-building, shedding light on the unique cultural and health-
related concerns of Native American Two-Spirit people during the early 1990s. --Dorothea Gloria
