This new body of work by Margaret August dissects and highlights the gifts of Two-Spirit people in the framework of Margaret\u2019s own unique perspective, while also encouraging an understanding that Two-Spirit identity requires recognizing the intersectional nature of their experiences. Where Indigenous identity and LGBTQ+ identity overlap and shape their lived realities, or through an intersectional lens, we can see how the unique experiences of Two-Spirit individuals are shaped by their Indigenous background and their gender.<\/p>\n<h2>Margaret August<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.margaretaugust.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Margaret August<\/a> is a Two-Spirit, Coast Salish artist and is a member of sh\u00edsh\u00e1lh Nation.
