Abstract Summary
It is internationally recognized that gender is one of the most influential determinants of health. This project brings together gender-diverse community members, researchers and Elders who will be looking beyond Two Spirits to explore the teachings of the Nine Genders. The Nine Genders teachings were lost through processes of colonization. Project activities will be guided by ceremony to explore and reclaim these teachings, beginning with a sweat. Other project activities will include: a literature review, sharing circles, participatory data analysis, presentations and publications at regional, national and international conferences as opportunities become available. We will also host a writing and planning workshop to determine next steps for an Operating Grant application to CIHR.
