Indigenous Pride LA is Los Angeles County's only Native American LGBT+ Pride organization and event, and celebrates two-spirit Indigiqueer, and Indigenous LGBT+ culture, identities, and heritage.[1]

History

[edit]

Indigenous Pride LA formed in 2017, as a result of discussions regarding a possible festival that celebrated and honored Native American LGBT+ roles and traditions.[2] They have walked in various pride events in Los Angeles to celebrate the experience of Indigenous LGBT rights.[3]

Since 2019, Autry Museum of the American West has hosted several of Indigenous Pride LA's an annual LGBT+ Pride events.[4]

Two of the founding members, Gabby Leon and Terri Jay, were honored by the Los Angeles Blade in 2923 as the most committed activists for their work with Indigenous Pride LA.[5]
