The term "two-spirit" was coined at the Third Annual Inter-tribal Native American, First Nations, Gay and Lesbian American Conference in Winnipeg in 1990. “Two-Spirit” is a term used within some Indigenous communities which encompasses sexual, spiritual and gender identity. Attributed to Elder Myra Laramee, it's a translation of the Anishinaabemowin term.
