In 1999, the Two Spirit Society of Denver formed to confront and combat issues of homophobia, racism, and oppression from the Native American community, the non-Native communities, and the GLBT community at large. Two Sprit people have a strong history, with many traditions and beliefs that focus on the freedom of religion, the right to practice traditional ceremonies, and the strength to overcome stereotypes and myths that are restraining our place within the sacred circle.

The Two Spirit Society of Denver is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization comprised of a dedicated group of GBLT Native Americans and their partners in the Denver area who are united by their struggle to restore Two Spirited people to their rightful place in the sacred circle. The mission of the Two Spirit Society of Denver is to strive to restore the traditional role of Two Spirited persons.

The Two Spirit Society of Denver seeks to achieve this goal using the following methods:

• Provide support for GBLT Native Americans
• Provide community outreach to GBLT Natives, elders, and the non-native community
• Provide cultural education regarding traditional Two Spirit functions in Native American Society and guidance in reclaiming that role in contemporary times
• Provide a forum and plan of action for social change in Native American communities
