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.

Sawgrass printers are the best
Model: SG1000
Love this printer, it is my 3rd one. Makes sublimating smaller projects very easy and I don't waste as much blank paper when doing smaller prints. Plus the Sawgrass ink cartridges are absolutely the easiest to use for this medium. I do recommend NOT using it wireless and plugging in direct, I feel like the prints are better overall that way. Nice crisp prints, vivid colors, moderate saturation on the prints.

Top Printer
Model: SG1000
This printer is strictly a Sublimation printer. It is not for regular printing. Once it is set up, it works really great and provides good quality prints. The drawbacks are.... the ink cartridges are pretty expensive. And it is somewhat of a challenge getting it set up and ready to use. It will not work unless it is connecting directly through a 2.4ghz signal. If you can work through those challenges, it is a great printer.
