ABOUT

Arnold Dahl-Wooley (he/him)

Public Speaker

Arnold is an enrolled member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and is proud to be one-half of the first same-sex marriage sanctioned by the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe. As a teenager, he heard his voice on a tape recorder and panicked. Arnold toiled at masking the gayness heard in the playback. Today, he has made a life-long commitment to use his authentic voice for good. Together, with his husband Matthew; they are on a mission to make the world a better, easier, safer place for other Two-Spirit individuals of all ages and their families. Through public speaking, outreach, and community-building opportunities, our intent is to create a brighter future for all - where all can thrive. We are a part of organizations that are committed to connecting and empowering Two-Spirit people and those who love them with culturally relevant and supportive resources, programs, and support groups.
