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.

Quality wine opener.
Color: 7-in-1 Silver, Size: Rechargeable Set
I really like this wine opener. It's well made. The foil cutter is metal unlike the last one I had that was plastic and broke. The wine stopper works well to take air out of the bottle and seal it. It also has a cool blue light that comes on when in use and charging.

Like that it can be charged while it's stored
Color: 7-in-1 Silver, Size: Rechargeable Set
I like that this wine bottle opener can be charged on the stand, making it always ready to perform. No worry about batteries or needing a charge before the dinner/party. It's handy to have the foil cutter and aerator beside the bottle opener and the stoppers which use the end of the bottle opener to remove air from partial bottles for temporary storage were a plus!
