Aanii Boozhoo!

​

Niizh Manidook means Two Spirit, in Anishinaabemwin (Ojibwe language). 

​

Niizh Manidook Hide Camp (NMHC) is a cultural revitalization initiative based in the Southern Georgian Bay aimed at restoring and preserving the art of traditional hide tanning in our shared Lake Huron, Erie and Ontario watershed territories.

​

We are a Two Spirit hide tanning collective creating safer space for Two Spirit/ 2SLGBTQQIAA+ (two spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, androgynous+) youth and Two Spirit/ Indigqueer community members.

​

We offer Two Spirit hide camps and apprenticeships!

​

We are funded by Ontario Trillium Foundation's Youth Opportunities Fund.  Our 2021 hide camp was funded in part by Laidlaw Foundation. Our 2022 was funded in part by MLSE Foundation. Gchi-miigwech/ Big thank you to our funders for supporting this work and helping us make the camp possible!
