Product Description

This landmark book combines the voices of Native Americans and non-Indians?? anthropologists and others?? in an exploration of gender and sexuality issues as they relate to lesbian?? gay?? trans-gendered?? and other "d" Native Americans. Focusing on the concept of two-spirit people - individuals not necessarily gay or lesbian?? transvestite or bisexual?? but whose behaviors or beliefs may sometimes be interpreted by others as uncharacteristic of their sex - this book is the first to provide an intimate look at how many two-spirit people feel about themselves?? how other Native Americans treat them?? and how anthropologists and other scholars interpret them and their cultures.
