2 Spirits in Motion Society (2SiMS) began as a grassroots effort to unite 2S kin across Canada. The society was officially incorporated in 2018 by a provisional board of 2S leaders. Early gatherings like the 2 Spirits in Motion Forums built awareness of Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ health and rights, and created space for kin to speak about identity, safety, and community care.

From these early efforts, 2SiMS grew into the national 2S organization it is today. Our work centres community voice, intergenerational teachings, and nation-to-nation relationships. We continue to honour the vision of the Elders, leaders, youth, and partners who helped shape this movement. The participants in the research within this organization reside across Turtle Island, their photos may also represent places, people and ideas globally.
