Suku Pride

Suku means many things in history across many diverse cultures of people. One meaning we celebrate is its connection to Two-Spirit, which refers to First Nation peoples who represented a highly respected role within their culture and social communities.

To learn about Two-Spirit, here are some of our favorite books to add to your Summer reading list:
