Extractions: Sign Guestbook View Guestbook Welcome! For over two decades now I've been on an odyssey seeking the answers to three questions central to the meaning of being queer: who are we? where did we come from? what are we for? My answers to these questions are in the books and articles I have written, as well as the many slide-lectures I've given around the country. I hope to use this website as well to share what I've learned on this odyssey. Here you'll find information about my publications, along with excerpts and some samples of recent work-in-progress. There's background on the Native American two-spirit tradition and its parallels around the world, queer mythology, lesbian/gay culture and history, and Applied Meditation. I will be updating this site on a regular basis, so visit me often! Let me know what you'd like to see here. You can leave comments in my guest book or e-mail me. Feel free to link my site to yours and tell me about any sites I can link tobut please don't "mirror" or reproduce any of my pages on your site without permission.

Mythology: Native American Myths
MYTHS. Native american Myths. Many Native american myths could equally well becalled folktales, in that they seem to be about ordinary people, not gods.
http://www.livingmyths.com/Native.htm

Extractions: Many Native American myths could equally well be called folktales, in that they seem to be about ordinary people, not gods. However, in so far as one can generalize, the Native American attitude is that everything is animated by divinity. Hence ordinary people, animals and places are divine. In many cases the people are not even named, or they are known by a convenient tag, such as Rabbit Boy who was brought up by rabbits. Nor is there much attempt to characterize them, since they stand for universal principles which are considered to be more important than individual traits. Native American spirituality Narrative types White Buffalo Woman Whereas Greek myths were shaped and ordered by classical authors, few Native American myths were written down before the late nineteenth century. Thus the apparent contradictions and inconsistencies of the right-brain oral tradition are still very much present. Among all tribes there is a strong sense that behind all individual spirits and personifications of the divine, there is a single creative life-force, sometimes called the Great Mystery, which expresses itself throughout the universe, in every human, animal, tree and grain of sand. Every story, too, is a working out of this life-force.

Extractions: Publisher: University of Massachusetts Press THE UNITED STATES emerged from World War II with a new sense of identity and purpose. The Depression was over. We had won a major victory in a two front world war. A new international community was forming which had resulted in the United Nations. It would meet on American soil and make New York City the virtual capital of the new world order. The various (white) immigrant groups that had come to this country over the previous 100 years had successfully assimilated into the American "Melting Pot" and proven their loyalty to this country during the war. The "new" Americans had joined together with the "WASP" establishment in creating the world's greatest Super Power. After defeating Fascism on two oceans, the American people assumed responsibility for rebuilding postwar Europe and Asia while opposing the global threat of Communism. In the post war period, Catholics looked for heroes who were both American and Catholic. They needed them to establish their own identity and to prove to the suspicious elements in American society that they too were true Americans who were fully in line with American values (and interests) overseas.
Sacred Texts: Native American
Public domain of etexts about Native american religion. Focus on reliable and detailed information about actual practices and mythology.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/index.htm

Extractions: A long-standing problem with this section (and several others at this site relating to traditional peoples' spiritual beliefs) has been the lack of authoritative information. We are in the process of expanding this section by scanning public domain ethnographic accounts on specific Native American religious and spiritual practices. We are fortunate that there is a wealth of such material available, which makes it so much more puzzling why more of it is not on the Internet yet. The study of Native Americans by anthroplogists has had its share of bad science and ethical problems. However, the texts we are in the process of scanning were written by 19th and 20th Century ethnographers who were known for their careful and respectful approach to the people they studied. These were scholars who lived for years with the people they studied, and obtained permission to transcribe their oral sacred literature. These texts cover a wide range of Native Americans or don't fit into one of the categories above.

Myths And Legends For American Indian Youth
Native american traditional stories myths and legends from many tribes,times, places. AADIZOOKAANAG Traditional Stories, Legends and Myths.
http://www.kstrom.net/isk/stories/myths.html

Extractions: Aadizookaan means (in Anishinaabemowin , or Ojibwe language) "a traditional story", what anthros and others seem to like calling legends or myths. These are or in their original, were often sacred. Those represnt large themes of human existence: where we came from, how we should live, reconcilliation to the tragedies of life, thankfulness There are smaller stories: teaching, humorous, answering "Why?" questions about natural phenomena and behavior. Finally, traditional indigenous peoples had no TV, no books; stories were entertainment, too. TO THOSE WHO TRANSCRIBE NATIVE MYTHS: Our myths appear popular as NuAge web page fillers. Native myths, as opposed to tall tales and little stories for children, are not entertainment. It is important that you cite the source from which you transcribed it, the collector or non-Indian reteller-translator of the myth, and if given, the original teller. And, of course, the tribe. I think Native myths are meaningless removed from cultural context, but if there is any educational value to them, they must be identified with a specific people, time, and place. Some retellers are reliable. Others sanitize and restructure stories, making them worthless as a means to learn about a culture a kind of racism, where retellers believe Native myths (which are often owned by specific individuals or families) are merely primitive raw material for their own literary efforts, often crude and condescending.

It means light, intelligence and wit. Pratibha is a Native American name. My animal protector is an owl. An owl has wisdom, truth and patience. The Mescalero believe that owl carries the soul of the recently deceased, a death messenger. Owl is the totem of clairvoyant and mystics. I picked the owl because its smart, patience and tells the truth, which Im the same. Also, because I might be able to see my dead grandmothers soul and grandfathers soul, since I never got to see them. I first came into this world on November 27, 1991. I was born at the Georgetown Hospital in Guyana. I have a family of five that includes my dad, mom, two brothers and myself. My religion is Islam, which means Im a Muslim. Im the only daughter, which means Im spoil. My two brother's each are eight years older than me. I came here when I was seven. I have a lot of interests. I love to read books mostly mystery books, because it gets me to guess the ending and it is thrilling to read. Just like reading mysteries, I love watching Unsolved Mystery on the TV, because it gets me to guess what would probably happens next. My favorite sport is basketball. I love to come to school and learn and like to go to the library every Sunday. I like to do work on the computer and play games on the computer only on Saturdays.
