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.

Sharp knives, but some defects
The knives cut well and are generally functional. However, I had some issues with the overall quality. The handle doesn’t feel secure when holding it and arrived slightly peeled, which raises concerns about durability. Additionally, the largest knife arrived with a slightly bent tip, which was disappointing. They work, but the quality control and packaging could definitely be improved. For these reasons, I can’t give a higher rating.

Good quality

5 Stars - Excellent Quality and Performance! I couldn't be happier with this knife set! Each knife is incredibly sharp right out of the box and cuts through everything with ease—whether it's vegetables, meat, or bread. The handles are comfortable to hold and well-balanced, making food prep a breeze. The design is sleek and looks great in my kitchen. I've used them daily for a few weeks now, and they’re still holding up perfectly. This set offers outstanding quality at a great price. Highly recommended for home cooks and pros alike!
