Vision Statement
Sioux Falls Two-Spirit and Allies was created to humbly express our views as Two-Spirit people. To give our gift of education and knowledge to Natives and Non-Natives alike, based on what our traditional place or places were in our communities/tribes.
We feel that it is critical for all people to know where we come from and what our views were and continue to be.
We are also looking to reach out to the Two-Spirit and Non-Native LGBTQ youth, showing them and educating them on our traditions and also show them that there is a reason to be proud of who you are being winkte (Two-Spirit). We are also looking to teach more traditional ways and practice some of those, including: medicine picking, beading and language teachings to name a few.
We would ultimately like to have the entire community, Two-Spirit, LGBTQ and Straight Allies across Sioux Falls and the surrounding area come together on issues creating common ground between us all.
