A pair of Indigenous teachers in Saskatchewan have founded an organization called Indigenous Teachers for Two-Spirit Youth, which is dedicated to helping elementary and high schools better support their two-spirt students and teachers. Two-spirit teachers Tanzy Janvier, who is Dene, and Madelaine Enns, who is Métis, started the organization. Through it, they share resources and host workshops in local schools. “School is the very first place where students start to explore the identity amongst their peers,” explained Janvier, “and if they don’t have those safety nets to be able to do that, once they’re done school and in adulthood they don’t know who they are.”
