“Once I came out as who I truly was, the chain broke.”

Elder Ma-Nee Chacaby reclaimed her Two-Spirit identity to break away from colonial chains and embrace balance. She explains how being Two-Spirit is not a modern label but an ancestral way of being.

Parole hearings tend to have a hierarchical, procedural format. Elder Vincent Pawis directly integrated cultural practice into the correctional process by introducing Indigenous Circle parole hearings to give inmates the chance to reclaim their voice & tell their story.
