The think tank, which promotes economic, military, and health security policy for the Arctic, argues that \u201cqueerness and Indigenous\u201d identities in the region have often been ignored. In response, analysts are compiling a series of papers called \u201cQueering the Arctic,\u201d which will examine the role of \u201cqueerness\u201d among native populations.<\/p>\n<p>The group has posed questions such as \u201cHow are queer people in the Arctic challenging well-established systems of heteronormativity? To what extent are they suffering from societal, cultural or structural shortcomings and how are they using their resources to overcome them?\u201d The aim is to challenge deficiency-oriented, ethnocentric and neoliberal approaches, and invite authors to create a space to identify \u201cHope Spots\u201d from Indigenous and queer feminist perspectives, whether artistic, academic, analytical or narrative. The addition of \u201ctwo-spirit\u201d to the \u201cLGBT2SQ+\u201d acronym marks one example of how \u201cprecolonial Indigenous concepts of gender and identity have gained popularity in recent years, and how queer people are taking matters in their own hands yet again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Arctic Institute, launched in 2011 and recognized as one of the foremost think tanks by the University of Pennsylvania, seeks to raise awareness around gender and sexual identity issues in native communities. The Indian Health Service, a federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, acknowledges that some tribes historically have had individuals who \u201ccombined activities of both men and women\u201d and therefore \u201coccupied a distinct, alternative gender status.\u201d The disruptions brought about by disease, conquest and the activities of missionaries, government agents, boarding schools, and white settlers resulted in the elimination of many traditions in native communities. As a result, two-spirit traditions and practices disappeared in a number of tribes.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers and academics within gender studies and related fields have been the subject of criticism for their advocacy-driven conclusions and use of pseudoscientific methods. <\/p>\n<p>The Arctic Institute\u2019s project follows an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilsoncenter.org\/blog-post\/no-10-queering-arctic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier article<\/a> by the Polar Institute, a division of the Wilson Center, which studies central policy issues impacting the Arctic and Antarctic, which reached similar conclusions on the subject of \u201cqueering the Arctic.\u201d The authors of the said article concluded that stigmas surrounding non-traditional households continue to exist in many societies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arctic Institute issued a call for researchers to submit papers for a series examining \u201cheteronormativity\u201d in the far northern portion of the planet.The nonprofit think tank, which exists to develop economic, military, and health security policy for the Arctic, asserted that \u201cqueerness and Indigenous\u201d identities in the region have often been diminished.
