 “Aho, My name is Curtis Alexander, Jr., my pronouns are He/She/Bitch, and I am the President and Public Relations Chair of the Winnebago Two-Spirit organization. I am an enrolled member of the Omaha Tribe and I reside in Winnebago, Nebraska. I am both a father and a grandfather. In 2018, my Drag Queen persona Citrus won Miss Sioux City Supreme. I became the first Native American to hold the title. In collaboration with the Siouxland Pride Alliance and other Siouxland LGBTQIA+ entities, I used my new platform for the Black, Brown, and Latinx LGBTQIA+ communities in Siouxland. The Winnebago Two-Spirit organization’s goals are to give Two-Spirit individuals a safe space to celebrate who they are, to educate for equality, and to preserve and educate on the cultural roles of Two-Spirit individuals.” Follow them on Facebook at Winnebago Two-Spirit.
