Native American and non-Native contributors, anthropologists and others explore gender and sexuality among lesbian, gay, transgender and other ‘marked’ Native Americans. Centering the concept of two-spirit people, whose behavior or beliefs may be read by others as uncharacteristic of their sex, the book is the first to show how two-spirit people see themselves, how other Native Americans treat them, and how scholars have interpreted them and their cultures.
