- Abstract
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth disproportionately face barriers accessing healthcare, including lack of access to culturally specific resources. This article details the creation of a culturally-specific Toolkit for AI/AN transgender and Two-Spirit youth, their relatives, and their healthcare providers across the United States. The Toolkit aims to 1) deliver culturally grounded resources to youth with diverse gender identities, 2) provide resources for families, and 3) increase healthcare provider awareness. A culturally appropriate Toolkit, "Celebrating Our Magic," was created from continual engagement with community partners over a 6-month period to address identified needs. The Toolkit has been shared regionally with partners who helped with its creation and nationally with Indian Health Service, Tribal, and Urban clinics serving AI/AN youth. This Toolkit creation process could be applied to manuals or guides for work in other underserved communities.
