Independent Lens | Two Spirits | Striving to Be Accepted, Not Tolerated | PBS

Duration: 02:31
Program: Independent Lens #1225
Broadcast Date: Jun. 14, 2011

Participants in a Two-Spirit Gathering share their experiences.

In Navajo, nadleehi means "one who is transformed," and as the film traces the ramifications of Fred's murder, it also shows the transformation being undertaken by Native activists who are working to restore the rich heritage of two-spirit people and to claim their place within their tribal communities.
