We have always been here: Decolonizing Gender/ Siempre hemos estado aquí: Descolonizando el género

Colonization has twisted our collective worldview, and as a result, we live today in a world where gender relationships are out of balance. Much of the violence and inequities have been caused by a disruption in the continuity of ancestral values and traditions that held together the cohesiveness of communities. Indigenous Peoples’ views and understandings of gender are just as diverse as their cultures. However, imposed patriarchy and Christianity vilified Queerness in our communities, making it into a threat to be eradicated. Join the conversation on how Indigenous leaders are unearthing some of this buried or interrupted knowledge, how they are reclaiming and finding meaning in those identities, and the challenges they are facing.

El último número de Cultural Survival Quarterly está dedicado a animar a nuestros familiares de otros géneros y a aquellos que se identifican como no binarios. En muchas sociedades Indígenas precoloniales, existían múltiples géneros reconocidos, y esas personas tenían diferentes roles venerados. El colonialismo, el cristianismo y el patriarcado obligaron a muchas de estas identidades a ocultarse. Compartimos con ustedes algunas historias de descolonización desde los puntos de vista de algunos que están desenterrando parte de este conocimiento enterrado o interrumpido, cómo están reclamando y encontrando significado en esas identidades y los desafíos que enfrentan.
¡Únase a nosotros para profundizar la conversación!
