Subject: Sundance in Carberry
Good morning, my name is Sandra Laframboise, I am a Metis of the Algonquin Nation of Kitigan Zibi on the border of Quebec and Ontario.
I am also two spirited and lived in Vancouver, BC. When Keith Pache was here in Vancouver several weeks ago I made a pledge with tobacco and cloth offering to go and Sundance in Carberry…
I am aware roughly of the date in August this year…but forgot to ask him many things because I was at the Yuwipi to pray.."
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=17438"One of these transgender groups is the High Risk Project Society based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The group has published "Gender, Transgender and Transphobia," by Sandra Laframboise, to explain the movement and its goals.
According to the High Risk Project Society, "Transgender people seek the freedom to express themselves and to present themselves in a manner that is consistent with their own identity, rather than with the gender identity imposed on them from birth."
This includes transsexuals, who "internally experience a contradiction between their identity and their anatomic sex, and usually shape themselves physically to recreate a more healthy and harmonious balance between their bodies and their internal world."
The term transgender also includes "intersexuals," or those more commonly known as hermaphrodites.
"Intersexuals exist on the biological continuum between the poles of male and female. ..." says Laframboise. "Intersexuals struggle against our rigid two-sex system, for the right to physical ambiguity and the acknowledgment that there are more than two sexes."
So far she seems a serious gay rights activist and health professional.

This workshop is about 5 hours long. Cost $200."
This seems like a simple crafts workshop.
Also someone by the same name on an Indian Health board in Frisco, but doubt that's the same person.
And work on AIDS
