BAAITS, a volunteer-based organization, established the first and largest public two-spirit powwow in the world.
This year s events take place February 2-6, culminating with the Grand Entry on the last day from noon to 4 p.m. Pacific Time.
A powwow is a traditional Native American event that gathers all tribes, as well as invites non-Native guests to learn more about Native cultures. Last year, the event welcomed more than 5,000 people at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, BAAITS will hold the powwow online this year, according to a news release. It will include daily panels and workshops.

For Two-Spirit artist and community organizer Snowflake Calvert, growing up on occupied Turtle Island (an Indigenous term referring to North America) as an Indigenous first-generation American has created deep struggles. In this intimate piece, Snowflake combines contemporary and traditional dance, performance art and drag to share aspects of her complex life and heritage. She collaborates with interdisciplinary artist Europa Grace, who infuses their perspectives and challenges as a queer and trans Black American. Through this work-in-progress sharing and development process, Snowflake seeks to offer audiences a way to use movement and choreography to explore their lineages and to heal.
