Originally published as a special issue of the lesbian journal Sinister Wisdom, it was the first collection of Indigenous women\u2019s writing and art to be edited exclusively by an Indigenous woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collection is a defiant act of &#8220;writing as witness,&#8221; featuring 61 contributors from 40 different Native nations. Brant intentionally sought out voices traditionally silenced by both colonial society and their own communities, including lesbian\/Two-Spirit women and women in prison. The result is a vibrant tapestry of poetry, letters, and art that explores themes of survival, recovery from colonialism, and the reclaiming of sacred queer identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than just a book, A Gathering of Spirit served as a foundational text for Indigenous feminism and Queer Indigenous Theory. It remains a powerful testament to the endurance of Native women and their refusal to be &#8220;stoic&#8221; or &#8220;vanishing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-publication-history\">Publication History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"617\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Gathering_SL1302_-617x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35605 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Gathering_SL1302_-617x1024.jpg 617w, https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Gathering_SL1302_-181x300.jpg 181w, https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Gathering_SL1302_-768x1275.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Gathering_SL1302_.jpg 784w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>ISBN<\/td><td>9780931103001<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Copyright Date<\/td><td>1984<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Publication Date<\/td><td>1984<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Publisher<\/td><td>Firebrand Books<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Editor<\/td><td>Beth Brant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Format<\/td><td>Trade Paperback<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No. of Pages<\/td><td>238<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Language<\/td><td>English<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Editor<\/td><td>Beth Brant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BookID<\/td><td>4451<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brant-gathering-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27325 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brant-gathering-2.jpg 323w, https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brant-gathering-2-193x300.jpg 193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>ISBN<\/td><td>9780889611351<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Publication Date<\/td><td>1988<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Publisher<\/td><td>Three O\u2019Clock Press<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Editor<\/td><td>Beth Brant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Format<\/td><td>Trade Paperback<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No. of Pages<\/td><td>238<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Language<\/td><td>English<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rating<\/td><td>NotRated<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Editor<\/td><td>Beth Brant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BookID<\/td><td>4450<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"401\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brant-g.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16765 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brant-g.jpg 401w, https:\/\/lesbianfunworld.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brant-g-191x300.jpg 191w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>ISBN<\/td><td>9780932379559<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Genre<\/td><td>Anthology \u2013 Fiction; Native\/Indigenous Interest<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Publication Date<\/td><td>Mar-89<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Publisher<\/td><td>Firebrand Books<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Editor<\/td><td>Beth Brant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Format<\/td><td>Trade Paperback<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No. of Pages<\/td><td>238<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Language<\/td><td>English<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rating<\/td><td>NotRated<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Editor<\/td><td>Beth Brant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BookID<\/td><td>4449<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Gathering of Spirit: A Collection of Writing and Art by North American Indian Women\u00a0was the first published collection of Indigenous women\u2019s writing in North America, as well as the first anthology edited by an aboriginal woman.
