I had never heard anything remotely reminiscent regarding homosexuality rampant within the Native American tribes spread across this vast great continent of ours. To talk of Native Americans would be to describe a nation of tribes, proud, strong, family-centric, community minded living off the land in harmony with nature, of great warriors, even greater legends, all of which devastated , destroyed, usurped, by the evil, wily European White Man who through guile, trickery, broken promises, expropriated this great land to make it their own while the rightful keepers were systematically uprooted from the very moment they landed in the New World.
Yes, their story is sad, tragic, even unprecedented in the brutal, brutish loss of their land to the White Man, a fate seemingly inexplicable to all including myself.
Most who try to understand the fate of the Red Man are usually at a loss for words and simply throw their hands up and speak of the White Man's ruthlessness as the only rationale for it all.
But this historically obscure revelation has given me great pause to think about their fate as divine retribution in the connection there seemed to be between the Native American nation and its sordid, depraved way of life.
To talk of the spiritual roots of homosexuality is to reveal a a sordid proclivity, perspective antithetical, abominable to the laws of God, nature and humanity itself.
I was taken aback to learn of how homosexual men within the Native American population were highly respected.
FTA
It was actually considered a huge honor to have a Gay lover or "wife," and raised one’s honor in the tribe. In many other ancient cultures, such as the Greek and the Roman, homosexuality was associated with spiritual insight.
Upon reading the special status accorded these homosexuals from across so-called enlightened, spiritually insightful societies it occurred to me in a rather dramatic way how these very same societies were now extinct,resonating only from a point of historical past.
It was at this point I began to be struck by the terrible fate of the Native American, in many ways unprecedented, essentially gone from everyday life, condemned to a life of abject poverty, economic hardship, abject-poverty disease, crime ridden, demographically non-viable and wondered if it all was the Wrath of God that had done them in infinitely more destructive manner, than any White Man Cavalry Brigade might ever do.
Tell a lie often enough and it becomes accepted as truth.
I work with them, I get how it all happened to them, and there’s nothing anywhere attributing ‘high status’ to gay people in any tribal lore.
They are STILL their own worst enemy.
I asked them once why there is ZERO direct foreign investment in Indian nations. Companies feel more contractually stable investing in China and Russia, than in the Sioux nation. Why?
Sovereign immunity - it’s like a monkey trap for them, but I get it.
Then I asked, ‘How come there’s no Indian Nations bank?’ ‘At this point, why aren’t the tribes funding their own economic development if they aren’t willing to do what it takes to attract ‘white’ cash?’
The answer:
“Because no tribe trusts the other. We can’t trust each other enough to make it happen.”
And there you go. They can’t even write a contract so that they are satisfied they’ll get a fair hearing in their own jurisdictions.
I’m not buying it. Show me some old references to homosexuality in Native American tribes. Gays have been trying to rewrite history and make everyone gay.
When me get that feeling, me need sexual healing.
As far as the question of how homosexuals were viewed in some of their cultures, so what? Same goes for the ancient Greeks of any other long defunct culture. Are we supposed to ape Sparta or take illiterate Afghans and their "cultural" customs of buggering little boys and mutilating their girls as a behavioral example? For the vast majority of people in our culture repulsion and disgust are the reaction by those practices (and to what goes on in Obama's and Rahm's Chicago bath house hideaway). They need to just STFU and stop expecting acceptance.
High Status Accorded Homosexuals In Native American Tribes
BULLSH!T
Yet ANOTHER reason why we needed to drive the Native American into small reservations.
Pretty huste article..Hard to teach with patience..on this subject.
The depraved perverts of our society are so desperate to be seen as “normal” that they are attempting to find some culture, any culture, where it was not seen as shameful. Thus they dig through the vast history of cultures in a vain attempt to point to one and say “See, we are normal.”
OK, so the Washington Gay Warriors would be an honoring name. Cool.
This is nonsense.
Primitive? Yes. Yet the writer is more so.
hogwash. Since when did ‘plains indians’ speak Arabic or Persian?
Bardaj (arabic) means ‘slave’ and Bardan (persian) means ‘prisoner’.
Indians had a habit of capturing and enslaving other tribes, both men and women. Some captured male slaves were dressed as, and treated as women - the ultimate humiliation for a warrior. Robbed of the identity of being a ‘man’, they were slaves for the women - never to be equal to the braves of the tribe - and far beneath women in social stature. So just above dog status for the most part. Sex with a slave is generally dominance-driven with little regard for the slaves pleasure. A few may have risen within the ranks of the tribe’s women to a social position, but even the article agrees none attained the status of ‘man’ again, even in death.
This is the utter tripe that will be taught to your children as American History in a government school near you in the near future. The homosexual agenda is dependent on recruits.
I can’t remember if it was Desalle or another early explorer but I do remember an account of a native man who dressed and acted as a woman. He was allowed to live as such but no mention was made of any special status or mystical power.
Just how true the rest of it is, I don't know. There were a lot of different tribes. Generalizing, especially about things people didn't talk about and certainly didn't think about in the same way 21st century Westerners do, isn't likely to get us very far.
Sounds like a Ward Churchill kind of fact.
Thanks for breaking my BS meter.
And here I thought they were called squaws and reviled. . . .
