In this episode, Hannah is joined by Charlie Amáyá Scott (they/she), a Diné scholar who reflects, analyzes, and critiques what it means to be queer, trans, and Diné in the 21st century. Charlie talks about growing up in Navajo Nation, exploring her queer and trans identity as an Indigenous person, and the misconceptions that Navajo Nation is very inclusive of queer and gender diverse people. They also talk about Two Spirit identity, an identity specific to Indigenous cultures in North America, and the impact settler colonialism has had on the acceptance of queer identities in the Navajo Nation. Charlie and Hannah talk about the accessibility of sexual health care for Indigenous people and people in Navajo Nation, and the impact that the overturning of Roe v. Wade has had on Indigenous peoples specifically. Finally, Charlie discusses their work connecting with and supporting other queer and trans Indigenous people, the importance of honouring their ancestry while also forging the life they want for themselves, and what it’s like navigating trans communities as an Indigenous trans person.
