“How do we engage those people who are not living in Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and how do we create those spaces for people who feel like they’re in isolation a bit?” Ironstar said. “And I think a part of that is really starting to highlight the importance of being able to see ourselves reflected out there and to be able to see representation, but more importantly positive representation.”
Ironstar is a Saskatchewan representative on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) 2SLGBTQIA+ National Action Committee along with members across Canada. The National Action Committee helps facilitate conversations with different federal and provincial bodies to see how they are ensuring two-spirit people are included in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission 94 Calls to Action.
