Montana Two-Spirit Gathering

The Montana Two-Spirit Gathering is a retreat for Native, First Nations, and Indigenous Two Spirit people, their partners, family and friends.

For 30 years we have been hosting our Montana Two Spirit Gathering

The Gathering provides a safe, healthy, drug and alcohol-free environment. Its purpose is to encourage all people to heal from damage wrought by racism, sexism, ageism, colonialism, ableism, transphobia, generational trauma and homophobia and the negative impacts these have on health.​ As well as acknowledge and celebrate our heritages and cultural traditions.

What to Expect?

Each year we host a variety of events, from presentations to pageants, in the hopes of showcasing the knowledge and efforts of our two-spirit community members. You can expect to see:​

  • Time to spend with community members in various camp activities.
  • Traditional ceremonies, including tending a sacred fire.
  • Presentations on various topics from our two-spirit community and allies
  • A pageant/variety show, hosting the talented members of our community to showcase their traditional or contemporary talents.
  • A two-spirit powwow on the final night
  • Various vendors showcasing their crafts.
