Honouring the
Two-Spirit Pride Flag
In 2025, we proudly celebrate the creation of the first Two-Spirit Pride Flag, designed by Patrick Hunter to mark the 35th anniversary of the term "Two-Spirit."
This flag embodies the rich cultural heritage and identity of Two-Spirit individuals, emphasizing the vital importance of representation within the LGBTQ+ community.
The design features two stylized eagle feathers, symbolizing the harmony of masculine and feminine energies that dwell within us all. As Patrick notes, “We walk Turtle Island with these two perspectives at all times, and if they are in harmony, we can achieve anything.” These feathers rest on giizis, the sun, which illuminates our world, representing the boundless nature of our spirits. Patrick beautifully expresses this idea: “Science tells us that we’re all made from star stuff, as old as the universe.” Circles within the design reflect the spectrum of visible light and celebrate the ancient artistic traditions of Indigenous peoples, adding movement and magic to the flag.
Patrick Hunter’s vision encapsulates resilience and the interconnectedness of all beings. He reminds us that “we’re here to add our own verse to the cosmic poem,” encouraging us to embrace our unique contributions. The Two-Spirit Pride Flag stands alongside other iconic pride flags, continuing the legacy of celebrating diverse identities. Join us in uplifting the Two-Spirit community, as we all find our place in this vibrant tapestry of existence.
