On this episode of Not Invisible: Native Peoples on the Frontlines we share our recent conversation with Nēhiyaw/Metis/Mixed Two-Spirit activist, Prestin Thōtin-awāsis.
We discuss his activism and advocacy work, the importance of mental health support in Indigenous communities, and the importance of the T2S in MMIWGT2S and how communities and individuals can support survivors and families.
Prestin uses his platforms and voice to uplift Indigenous youth and 2S/Indigiqueer perspectives. He promotes wellness and advocates for mental health and 2SLGBTQ+ equity & rights. Prestin shares poetry, think pieces and discusses sobriety and healing with a focus on intergenerational wisdom.
