More than a few of my precious SF memories have come from attend ing the annual BAAITS (Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits) Powwow\, the largest gathering of LGBTQAI /Two-Spirit Native Americans . When it was held at SOMArts\, I loved popping in for the colorful pageantry\, sacred cerem ony\, incredible dancing\, and Native American goods—don’t forget the load ed fry bread\, yum. It felt so good to be at a cultural gathering that cel ebrated and even revered non-gender conforming folks\, so very different f rom what’s going on in the rest of the world\, it seems.

\n
\n

Now the powwow\, which is open to the public an d streamed online\, is held at Fort Mason and BAAITS has a new executive d irector—Angel C. Fabian\, known in ceremonial spaces as Tlahuizpapalotl (B utterfly of Light). I can’t wait to see what they have in store. A press r elease quotes community advisor Amelia saying\, “This is a space for all o f us to gather respectfully and celebrate Native traditions. Whether you a re African-American\, Native American\, White\, gay\, straight\, transgend er\, whoever you are and wherever your roots originated\, come with curios ity and kindness and you will enjoy the company of 5\,000 like-minded good and connected people as we celebrate traditions of music and art and toge therness.”

Spies of Mississippi by directo r Dawn Porter is a journey into the chilling world of anti-civil rights es pionage\, the world of informants\, infiltrators and agent provocateurs.                                                                

\nStoked by the fear of desegregation\, equality\, and wanting to maint ain the “Mississippi way of life”\, the state formed the Mississippi Sover eignty Commission (MSSC) which operated from the 195s to 1997.
