Native nations are similar to other world populations in the demographic representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. As part of our observance this year, the National Museum of the American Indian invited Native friends to share what they understand about how LGBTQ people were regarded in their traditional culture. June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month in the United States.
