Some LGBTQ+ people are out, and some deny or hide their sexual orientation and gender identity because of cultural taboos and social attitudes.

But we’re feeling a wind of change towards more tolerance, in the last 20 years… #Piusivut #BeingYourself #OpenDiscussion #LGBTQ+ #YouthOfNunavik #CheckUpProject --- RESSOURCES | ᐃᑲᔪᕐᓯᒍᓐᓇᑐᑦ You want to learn more about sexual orientation and gender identity?

Today, on PIUSIVUT, we will present the story of Duane Morisseau, a meti who's story is everything but ordinary. Duane struggled very personally with colonial trauma, fell to drug abuse, and through his path, was infected by HIV. Duane found his way to heal through connecting with his meti community. We’ve met him in Ottawa a couple weeks ago. Duane is a luminous person. He is the definition of resilience and shows how we can bounce back, from trauma to hope. This is for all those who are in darker moments right now, and for those who have someone they love struggling, we hope you feel inspired. We certainly were!
