CHAPTER XIV TO THE SAND HILLS ONE thing was sure: Running Eagle had not gone to war, else she would have got a medicine man to pray for her during her absence. I believed that she had started for the Two Medicine River caves in the cliff, there to fast and sacrifice to the gods and pray them to allow her to become White Quiver's woman. But I said nothing to any one about it, not even to my own mother and father. If she had gone there I did not want her to be trailed, especially not by White Quiver, for I feared that his sorrowful face and his pleadings might overcome her, and well I knew that to disobey the gods' commands would mean the end for her. Days passed. Almost a whole moon went by and the first snow of winter whitened the ground. More and more Running Eagle's sisters and brothers and my father and mother worried about her long absence, and White Quiver, thinking ever of her, praying to see her again, could eat and sleep but little and lost most of his flesh. I alone kept up my courage, my faith that she was safe and well and would in time return to us. And I was right. One evening after a warm, black wind had melted the snow from the ground and the air was almost that of the vanquished summer, our door curtain was thrust aside and Running Eagle entered, knelt beside my mother, and embraced her. "Now, you gods, thanks, thanks, for my almost-daughter's safe return!" my mother cried. "To see you again here with us makes this one of my most happy nights!" my father told her. "Almost-sister," said I, "never once did I doubt but you were safe and would return to us. I never mentioned it to any one, but I believed that you had gone back to that river cave in the cliff to fast and pray." "That is where I went," she told us. "Seven...

Download or read book Living the Spirit written by Prof. Will Roscoe and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1988-08-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking collection of essays and stories by, about, and selected by gay American Indians from over twenty North American tribes. From the preface by Randy Burns (Northern Paiute): Gay American Indians are active members of both the American Indian and gay communities. But our voices have not been heard. To end this silence, GAI is publishing Living the Spirit: A Gay American Indian Anthology. Living the Spirit honors the past and present life of gay American Indians. This book is not just about gay American Indians, it is by gay Indians. Over twenty different American Indian writers, men and women, represent tribes from every part of North America. Living the Spirit tells our story---the story of our history and traditions, as well as the realities and challenges of the present. As Paula Gunn Allen writes, “Some like Indians endure.” The themes of change and continuity are a part of every contribution in this book---in the contemporary coyote tales by Daniel-Harry Steward and Beth Brant---in the reservation experiences of Jerry, a Hupa Indian---in the painful memories of cruelty and injustice that Beth Brant, Chrystos, and others evoke. Our pain, but also our joy, our love, and our sexuality, are all here, in these pages. M. Owlfeather writes, “If traditions have been lost, then new ones should be borrowed from other tribes,” and he uses the example of the Indian pow-wow---Indian, yet contemporary and pantribal. One of our traditional roles was that of the “go-between”---individuals who could help different groups communicate with each other. This is the role GAI hopes to play today. We are advocates for not only gay but American Indian concerns, as well. We are turning double oppression into double continuity---the chance to build bridges between communities, to create a place for gay Indians in both of the worlds we live in, to honor our past and secure our future. Published by Stonewall Inn Editions in partnership with St. Martin’s Press, 1988.

Book excerpt: Brave Hearts: Indian Women of the Plains tells the story of Plains Indian women through a series of fascinating vignettes. They are a remarkable group of women – some famous, some obscure. Some were hunters, some were warriors and, in a rare case, one was a chief; some lived extraordinary lives, while others lived more quietly in their lodges. Some were born into traditional families and knew their place in society while others were bi-racial who struggled to find their place in a world conflicted between Indian and white. Some never knew anything but the old, nomadic way of life while others lived-on to suffer through the reservation years. Others were born on the reservation but did their best in difficult times to keep to the old ways. Some never left the reservation while others ventured out into the larger world. All, in their own way, were Plains Indian women.

Download or read book Third Sex Third Gender written by Gilbert Herdt and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most modern discussions of the relationship of biological sex to gender presuppose that there are two genders, male and female, founded on the two biological sexes. But not all cultures share this essentialist assumption, and even Western societies have not always embraced it. Bringing together historical and anthropological studies, Third Sex, Third Gender challenges the usual emphasis on sexual dimorphism and reproduction, providing a unique perspective on the various forms of socialization of people who are neither “male” nor “female.” The existence of a third sex or gender enables us to understand how Byzantine palace eunuchs and Indian hijras met the criteria of special social roles that necessitated practices such as self-castration, and how intimate and forbidden desires were expressed among the Dutch Sodomites in the early modern period, the Sapphists of eighteenth-century England, or the so-called hermaphrodite-homosexuals of nineteenth-century Europe and America. By contextualizing these practices and by allowing these bodies, meanings, and desires to emerge, Third Sex, Third Gender provides a new way to think about sex and gender systems that is crucial to contemporary debates within the social sciences.
