This two spirit flag sets a two-feather emblem on the rainbow pride stripes. It is a 3 × 5 ft polyester flag from Flags Importer, and it is one of the most widely flown Two-Spirit designs at Pride events and Indigenous gatherings.

What "Two-Spirit" means

Two-Spirit is a pan-Indigenous umbrella term used by some First Nations, Métis, Inuit and Native American people to describe gender and sexual diversity within their own cultures. It was adopted at an Indigenous LGBTQ gathering in Winnipeg as an English rendering of the Anishinaabemowin phrase niizh manidoowag, "two spirits". Many Nations also have their own words and traditional roles, and Two-Spirit doesn't replace them.

It is an identity for Indigenous people specifically. Non-Indigenous buyers often fly this flag as a sign of support, which is welcome; it just isn't a label for non-Indigenous people to take on.

The two spirit flag design

The two feathers represent masculine and feminine spirits existing within one person, and the circle around them stands for unity. The emblem was shared online by an anonymous designer, and versions have also been placed on the Progress Pride and transgender flags, so you may see several Two-Spirit flags in use. This one uses the rainbow field.

Material and finish

The print is dye-sublimated into polyester from one side, deep enough that the design shows on the reverse in mirror image. A header strip on the hoist side holds two metal grommets, the edges are double-stitched, and the fly end is reinforced with four rows of stitching.

Displaying it respectfully

Fly it on its own or alongside a standard 3 × 5 ft rainbow flag. If you are hanging it at work or in a classroom, a short card explaining the term helps visitors understand it. Keep it off the ground, take it down in storms, and store it folded and dry.

Helpful Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about Two Spirit Rainbow Flag 3x5' Polyester.

What does the Two-Spirit flag represent?

It represents Two-Spirit Indigenous people, whose gender or sexuality sits outside settler categories within their own cultural context. The two feathers stand for masculine and feminine spirits in one person and the circle for unity. On this version they sit over the rainbow stripes.

Can a non-Indigenous person fly the Two-Spirit flag?

Yes, as an ally. Many organisations, schools and businesses fly it to show support for Two-Spirit people. What is generally discouraged is a non-Indigenous person calling themselves Two-Spirit, since the term belongs to Indigenous communities.

Why are there different Two-Spirit flags?

The feather emblem has been placed on several backgrounds: the rainbow flag, the Progress Pride flag and the transgender flag. Communities choose the version that fits them. None is the single official flag; this is the rainbow-field version.

Where does the term Two-Spirit come from?

It was agreed at an Indigenous LGBTQ gathering in Winnipeg as a translation of the Anishinaabemowin phrase niizh manidoowag. It was chosen to replace outsider terms and to reconnect people with traditional roles. Many Nations also have their own specific words.

Can I hang it in a window?

Yes. The dye goes right through the polyester, so passers-by will see the design, mirrored and slightly lighter. A tension rod through the two grommets holds it flat against the glass. Direct sun through glass still fades colours over time.

How do I store it between events?

Make sure it is completely dry, then fold it loosely with the emblem inside to protect the print. Store it in a drawer or cloth bag away from sunlight. Plastic bags can trap moisture, which leads to musty smells.
