This is a short foundational course, and therefore, it is not a comprehensive source of information on understanding all experiences, barriers to care, and care needs of gender diverse Indigenous people across British Columbia or beyond.

Further learnings:

Trans Care BC encourages everyone to continue learning about Indigenous gender diversity and the broader scope of Two-Spirit cultures, identities, and roles in various Indigenous Nations.
