Celebrated for who they are': Hundreds gather for first two-spirit powwow
Indigenous dancers are seen at city's first two-spirit powwow put on by the Edmonton 2 Spirit Society on June 28, 2025. (CTV News Edmonton/Darcy Seaton) The Edmonton 2 Spirit Society started its first-ever two-spirit powwow Saturday with great success. Hundreds of people – many wearing traditional Indigenous regalia – gathered at Borden Park in northeast Edmonton to participate and enjoy the powwow celebrating the two-spirit, Indigi-queer, and queer community. SPIRIT POWWOW Hundreds gathered at Borden Park for the city's first two-spirit powwow put on by the Edmonton 2 Spirit Society on June 28, 2025. (CTV News Edmonton/Darcy Seaton) Lena Green, interim executive director of the Edmonton 2 Spirit Society said the event creates a space where the two-spirit community can show up as who they are. 'They don't have to come in and choose if they want to dance in a feminine or masculine category,' said Green at the powwow Saturday morning. 'There's just jingle, there's just fancy, there's fancy shawl, there's bustle, there's chicken, but there is no gender. 'We want people and community to be able to just be celebrated for who they are.' SPIRIT POWWOW Lena Green, the interim executive director of the Edmonton 2 Spirit Society, is seen at the two-spirit powwow on June 28, 2025. (CTV News Edmonton/Darcy Seaton) Green said the powwow is about sharing culture but also about how people can show up for the two-spirit and queer communities every day. In previous years, the Edmonton 2 Spirit Society partnered with bigger festivals. This year, they didn't want to be an 'add-on.' 'We wanted the ceremony to speak for itself and to have its own day and meaning,' said Green, adding that they chose Borden Park so dancers could dance on grass and there would be a greater connection to nature, like with traditional powwows. The Edmonton 2 Spirit Society provides social, health, and cultural programs and services to two-spirit, Indigi-queer and Indigenous LGBTQ+ communities in the city. The society also increases access to public services for Indigenous trans and non-binary people while providing a community gathering space with resources. Two-spirit is a term often used to represent various gender identities and sexual orientation within the Indigenous community. The powwow runs until 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Borden Park.

Fans celebrate ‘Squid Game' finale with Seoul parade
Cast members for Squid Game Season 1,2,3 attend during the Squid Game Season 3 finale fan event in Seoul, South Korea, Saturday, June 28, 2025. (AP Photo/Lee Jin-man) Thousands of fans gathered in Seoul on Saturday to celebrate the final 'Squid Game' season, ending a global Netflix hit that is seen as a symbol of South Korea's cultural clout. The third and final season was released Friday, concluding the series that sees desperate people compete in deadly versions of traditional children's games for a massive cash prize. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he had 'poured everything' into the series, which launched nearly four years ago. 'So while it's sentimental to see it end,' he said, 'there's also a sense of relief'. Fans gathered near Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace, led by marchers dressed in the bright pink uniforms worn by the show's mysterious masked agents. They were followed by others carrying oversize toys from one of the games featured in the series, along with the show's flag. Park Sang-gyu, a fan who stayed up all night watching the final season, said the dystopian drama was 'ultimately a story about people'. 'As you watch, you realise it's not just about the games -- it reflects many aspects of real life.' The walls of the Seoul Metropolitan Library were lit up with key scenes, including Young-hee -- the giant motion-sensing animatronic doll featured in one of its brutal games. Lee Byung-hun, who played the masked Front Man overseeing the competition, said the show had become 'something of a cultural phenomenon'. 'One that has drawn one of the boldest lines in the history of Korean content,' he said. The first two seasons of the series are among Netflix's most-watched shows, and in 2022, Hwang and the show's leading actor, Lee Jung-jae, became the first Asian men to win Emmy Awards. The final season follows its hero Gi-hun, played by Lee, as he returns to the ultra-violent games to dismantle them from within after surviving the first round. Along with filmmaker Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning 2019 thriller 'Parasite' and K-pop sensation BTS, 'Squid Game' is considered one of the most powerful examples of South Korea's rise as a global cultural force.
