Abstract
About this title: Two-Spirit People explores the berdache or "two-spirit" tradition in many Native American cultures, in which individuals who embody feminine and masculine qualities are understood as a third gender, beyond man and woman. In many communities, two-spirit people act as a conduit between the physical and spiritual world and because of these unique abilities, are often placed in positions of power within the community. Told through powerful personal testimony, archival photos, and clips from Hollywood Westerns, this ground-breaking documentary - one of the first cultural works to revive the term "two-spirit" - offers a unique overview of historical and contemporary Native American concepts of gender, sexuality and sexual orientation.

About the series: Six short films about transgender & gender non-conforming young adults appear in this collection designed for use in high schools and LGBT centers.
