(Vancouver, BC) The 38th annual Vancouver Pride Parade<\/a>, held on Sunday, July 31, 2016, was historic on a number of fronts. There\u2019s been much news coverage of Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau<\/a>, his wife and children marching, the first time a serving Prime Minister marched in the Vancouver Pride Parade.<\/p>\n

However, the Indigenous and #Two-Spirit<\/a> community also made history. The Musqueam Nation<\/a>\u00a0lead the Indigenous contingent of three (3) Two-Spirit\/Indigenous floats at this year\u2019s Vancouver Pride Parade. This was the first time Musqueam Nation<\/a>\u00a0lead this contingent.<\/p>\n

The Musqueam<\/a> float was followed by the Greater Vancouver Native Cultural Society<\/a> and the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network <\/a>floats.<\/p>\n
