'''Two Spirit,''' '''Two-Spirited,''' or '''Indigiqueer''' is an [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive identity]] for Indigenous North Americans and is defined as an [[Umbrella Term|umbrella term]] for sexuality, gender and/or spirituality. Two Spirit being seen as an umbrella term encompasses [[Gay|homosexual/homoromantic]] attraction and a wide variety of gender variance that includes individuals who in western culture may be described as [[gay]], [[lesbian]], [[Bisexual|bi]], [[Transgender|trans]], [[genderqueer]], [[Gender Non-Conforming|GNC]] or those who have [[Multigender|more than one gender identity]]. Two-Spirit also may include relationships which are [[Ethical Non-Monogamy|non-monogamous]].
Two-spirited individuals often serve a ceremonial role as well. In some tribes, when the term is used as an English synonym for a traditional ceremonial role, a two-spirited individual must be recognized as such by the Elders of their community.
