Current Anthropology MA Student Sergio Papa Ruark, whose research focuses on the phenomenon of the Two-Spirit in Native American communities, had planned on spending summer 2020 attending multiple Native American Powwows and Gatherings; plans that were profoundly affected by the COVID pandemic. Instead, he chose to offer a small tribute while traveling to the mountains of Colorado. Inspired by the Native American Two-Spirit community, he danced honoring his art, culture, and ancestors who keep these forms of cultural expression alive.
