Barbara May Cameron Google Doodle

Today’s Doodle celebrates Hunkpapa Lakota Native American activist, photographer, and writer, Barbara May Cameron’s 69th Birthday. She was nationally recognized as a leading human rights activist for women, LGBTQ, and Native American rights.

In 1975, she co-founded Gay American Indians — the first ever dedicated Native American LGBTQIA+ group — with her friend and fellow activist Randy Burns.

Cameron is remembered for her passionate writing and speeches, many of which are housed at the San Francisco Public Library. Her words live on through her essay, No Apologies: A Lakota Lesbian Perspective which is featured in Our Right To Love: A Lesbian Resource Book.

Happy birthday Barbara May Cameron, thank you for working tirelessly to improve human rights and for giving queer Indigenous people a place to feel safe and belong.
