IndigiQueer & Here!
As a Native founded and run Two-Spirit LGBTQAI+ organization we honor those that came before us and work to create ancestors that our people would be proud of.
IOEA would like to formally recognize that the land that we operate on was unjustly taken from Native tribal nations we refer to today as the Nuchu (Ute), Diné, Apache, Hopi, Paiute people along with various other tribes who utilized this land in conjunction with each other.
This land you now call Colorado was and still is the home lands of those Native people who loved and nourished the land long before colonization and reservations.
