Land Back Camp
O:se Kenhionhata:tie means Willow River in Kenien’keha.
We are a group of Two-Spirit, IndigiQueer, Queer/Trans Indigenous people and LGBTQ+ settler accomplices gathering in the Great Peace to celebrate, learn and thrive in our cultures. We represent several Nations living within both Dish With One Spoon and Two Row Wampums.
O:se Kenhionhata:tie has expanded far beyond its roots and grown to include many projects of varied scope.
Willow River Centre
Willow River Centre is an open community space for Indigenous and Racialized, Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ youth and grassroots members.
