My partner and I are raising our daughter to understand both of our indigenous traditions, and she's starting to ask questions about gender roles and two-spirit identity that we realize we're not prepared to answer together. We both have pieces of knowledge from our families but we've never talked through how to weave them together for her.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two people are discovering they need to synthesize their understanding before they can guide someone else's learning.
