Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits (BAAITS) provide space for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Native Americans and their allies to engage in culturally relevant traditions.

Two-Spirit refers to the commonly shared notion among many Native American tribes that some individuals naturally possess and manifest both masculine and feminine spiritual qualities.

Yaqui tribe member Phoenix Lara was interviewed by Kqed on Alcatraz in 2018 as part of the PBS 'Native America' series.
