Minnesota's North Shore

“They have those campaigns that say, ‘it gets better’ . . .”

… And the reality is in life it usually does because at some point, for many Two Spirit people, they find that they’re not always going to get that acceptance. If they really want to cause real change, they have to do it within their own community and let it trickle. And the real big acceptance they have to learn is their own self-acceptance. They call it the greatest love of all, being able to love yourself. I believe that’s true.”

~J. Miko Thomas, from Matika Wilbur’s book Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America
