A Note:
Our responsibilities extend beyond the Powwow grounds.
As Syilx people and families are being impacted and displaced by the fires, the Two-Spirit Powwow will create space to support our relatives. We are exploring a special Blanket Dance, with all funds directed toward Syilx-led supports for those impacted by the fires.
We also recognize that many Two-Spirit, trans, queer and Indigenous people already live with financial precarity. The responsibility to give should not fall disproportionately on our communities. We especially invite our non-Indigenous relatives, organizations, businesses, sponsors and those with financial capacity to step forward.
Our role is not to decide what affected families need, but to listen to the Nations responding to the fires and support what they identify as priorities.
When our relatives are displaced, community means showing up. Community is our power.
