What is a two-spirited person?

As explained by Diane Labelle, a two-spirited person of Iroquois origins: “For us, two-spirit relates to another gender [which includes people] who are not traditionally limited by a body or biology. Therefore, [people] are capable of doing more. [For Indigenous people, two-spirit] is more than a sexual orientation and more than being part of the LGBTQ+ community because it concerns the spirit.” (unofficial translation)
