BAAITS

Join us Sunday!

Please join us for a special screening of the acclaimed documentary film “Two Spirits.” This film highlights the powerful story of cultural identity, acceptance, and the intersection of gender and tradition within Native American/Indigenous communities. We will be marking 25 years since the hate motivated murder of Two Spirit youth FC (Fred) Martinez in Cortez, CO on June 2001.

The special screening and Q & A panel will be held on Sunday, June 14th from 1-3 pm, (doors open at 12:30 pm) at the Roxie Theater (3117 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94103). Panelists include Lydia Nibley, Film Director, L Frank (Tongva, Ajachmem, and Rarámuri), featured in the film and J. Miko Thomas (Chickasaw), BAAITS Board Co-chair.
