It has something to offer to readers at every stage of their gender journey, and is a valuable tool for educators and clinicians." Rezension(4): "Katrina Werchouski, Director of Indigenous Cultures Center, Northland College:The authors have made adequate time for Indigenous and Two Spirit identities and people. Talking about decolonizing the gender narrative in a way that traces back to the very roots of the first peoples in a place is something that is crucial in providing understanding, but is often ignored or overlooked.
