Spirit and the Flesh: Sexual Diversity in American Indian Culture

Awesome!! Highly recommended for anyone struggling with coming out. Mostly for males as there is much less historical writing regarding females from native American culture.

I found the book to be of great worth - enlightened to the real history which was never recorded in the history books. Our American History is a lie because of Social acceptance. When so many cultures have embraced the truth about life - puritanical and ignorant religious teachings have robbed us of true life and acceptance of nature. I am proud to be an American but I am not proud of what Religious fright has done to us as a whole. Why are we so afraid of the religious? Who are they? Why do we bow to their every word? - I commend the author for telling us the truth. If anyone has any sense they will study history and see where religion has been used to control the minds of individuals throughout the past while other cultures have embraced what nature has created. Darwins Theory? or the Bible - which can be proven by geology and science. Miracles or proof! Fear or knowledge! You be the judge for yourself. Great job - great book of truth - FINALLY!

Excellent

This book should be on Oprah and should be taught in colleges , I think a lot of people around the world would benefit spiritually from such insightful and ancient wisdom.

I received this book on time and it is fascinating.

This is a MUST read for every gay man or woman! It should also be on the reading list for all people. We can learn so much from the American Indians and how to love and accept people for who and what they are and what God made them. A wonderful read and study guide to gay life.

awesome... Thank you so much for the book... it was in great condition... I would do business with you again...

This book is fascinating, yet troubling. I attribute what troubles me to the obvious bias of the author, and yet -- it certainly made me think. Not so much as to how much of what the author says is true (and the rest of what he speculates); but how I feel about such speculation seeing the light of day. At the same time, I am not an advocate of censorship in any way. Perhaps these thoughts need to be available in order to make us aware of how people can make the erroneous connections about the gay movement that they do. I think a book like this does more harm than good. Homosexuality does not equal man/boy love. This author would suggest that it does.

What can I say, this book outlines native american relationship history, you will find they are ahead of their time, and the USA's current politics.

Fascinating study, if dated.
