DEUCES WILD! This cache is part of a MULTI-CACHER series-right- MULTI-CACHER, it's not a multi-cache! A few of us worked together and came up with hides at a variety of locations along HIGHWAY #2 to commemorate the unique date of 2/22/22 or in an alternate format-22/02/2022-PALINDROME TIME- 22022022 AND it's on a 2sday too! A bookmark list has been prepared/published for your reference! The Bookmark List will be called DEUCES WILD SERIES! You might not find all of them in one day but we hope you can get to them, eventually!
So...Highway 2-interesting information..... It is the longest highway in Saskatchewan at 809 km (503 mi). The highway is partially divided and undivided. However, only about 18 kilometres near Moose Jaw, 11 kilometres near Chamberlain, and 21 kilometres near Prince Albert are divided highway. Highway 2 is a major north-south route beginning at the Canada–US border at the Port of West Poplar River and Opheim, Montana customs checkpoints. It passes through the major cities of Moose Jaw in the south and Prince Albert in the north. Highway 2 overlaps Highway 11 between the towns of Chamberlain and Findlater. This 11 kilometres section of road is a wrong-way concurrency. The highway ends at La Ronge, where it becomes Highway 102.
THIS CACHE.....there just might be a FEW new hides out today with this name...we'll see! This is MY contribution of two cents...I couldn't resist! Should be a quick find if you can figure out which host to go to!
Two-Spirit
Two-spirit (also two spirit or, occasionally, two spirited) is a modern, pan-Indian, umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people in their communities who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) ceremonial and social role in their cultures.
The term two-spirit was created in 1990 at the Indigenous lesbian and gay international gathering in Winnipeg, and "specifically chosen to distinguish and distance Native American/First Nations people from non-Native peoples.” The primary purpose of coining a new term was to encourage the replacement of the outdated and considered offensive, anthropological term, berdache.[5] While this new term has not been universally accepted - it has been criticized as a term of erasure by traditional communities who already have their own terms for the people being grouped under this new term, and by those who reject what they call the "western" binary implications, such as implying that Natives believe these individuals are "both male and female" - it has generally received more acceptance and use than the anthropological term it replaced.
"Two Spirit" was not intended to be interchangeable with "LGBT Native American" or "Gay Indian"; rather, it was created in English (and then translated into Ojibwe), to serve as a pan-Indian unifier, to be used for general audiences instead of the traditional terms in Indigenous languages for what are diverse, culturally-specific ceremonial and social roles, that can vary widely (if and when they exist at all). Opinions vary as to whether or not this objective has succeeded. The decision to adopt this new, pan-Indian term was also made to distance themselves from non-Native gays and lesbians, as the term and identity of two-spirit "does not make sense" unless it is contextualized within a Native American or First Nations framework and traditional cultural understanding. However, the gender-nonconforming, LGBT, or third and fourth gender, ceremonial roles traditionally embodied by Native American and FNIM people, intended to be under the modern umbrella of two-spirit, can vary widely, even among the Indigenous people who accept the English-language term. No one Native American/First Nations' culture's gender or sexuality categories apply to all, or even a majority of, these cultures.
