Salem’s 47th Annual Capital Pride in the Park Festival will be held on September 20th, to celebrate the LGBTQIA2S community in Salem. In the past few years, the Grand Ronde Museum has held several art exhibits honoring queer indigenous history including an exhibit about Shimkhin, a Two Spirit healer who lived in the 19th Century. Two Spirit is a term used by some Native American communities to describe individuals who possess both male and female spirits. These individuals have been revered and respected in many Native American cultures for their unique gifts and abilities. Salem’s Capital Pride in the Park festival will be held at Riverfront Park on September 20th from 11:00am to 6:00pm.
