The first-ever look at social science research exploration into the lives of American Indian lesbian women and gay men. Editor Lester B. Brown posits six gender styles in traditional American Indian culture: men and women, not-men and not-women (persons of one biological sex assuming the identity of another sex in some form), and gays and lesbians. He brings together chapters that provide readers with a beginning understanding of the place of lesbian, gay and bisexuals within American Indian culture and within American society as well as the special challenges and multiple prejudices they face.
