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.

Not so sure Id even give it 1 Star
Size: 36, Color: A-dark Grey
Shorts - since the beginning of time, men have worn shorts. Simple and easy. But no, not here. Lets see how complicated and stupid we can make this. First off, they fit horribly. When you sit down they ride down in the back. Then there is the material. Whatever happened to cotton or some other recognizable fabric? When I walk you can hear a swish noise. 3rd, the belt they give you doesn't even fit the stupid connector. and the final straw is the latch? Cant be simple like a button or snap, its a hook the rotates, so if its not lined up right you have to fight with it to get it lined up right to connect it - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!!? WHY NOT a snap or button - OMG the worst shorts ever. Its like what can we do to really piss people off - well ya did it.

Very good short for my needs
Very good short for my needs. Light and functional for hot Summer days. Not strong enough for working on your yard (I have Carhartt for that). Great for biking, kayaking, hiking and general use. Kind of a slim fit, but the light material makes them very comfortable to wear. I am 6.2 and 200 lbs and usually use 35 waist wrangler jeans, 36W are perfect for me. Great value.

Awesome
I love these so far. They're really lightweight and unrestrictive. The fabric is a little bit stretchy but also seems really durable. They fit great have plenty of pockets and even come with a nice little belt. Really awesome for the price

Favorite watch / solar
Color: Green/Green
I'm partial... I have bought Timex my intire life, they no doubt make the best watches... They take a licking, but keep on ticking is there old commercials.. True.. Great quality, keeps going after many year's... I never bought a solar watch from them prior I have to mention... It should hold up I'm thinking like their battery watches, I hope so. My favorite watch, I own a handful. Watch looks better in person... Downfall, they are trying a new band out of recycled plastic, I don't like it as much as the older bands it's soft, but feels a little strange...
