Wouldn’t it stand to reason that thier depression is brought on by them being incapable of determining thier biological makeup?

Depression and abuse have been the telling traits of what-sexuals since man began.

This focus on the indigenous would appear to have a dollar sign smell wafting from it.

I like American Indians a lot but a lot of them report high levels of depression and abuse, the alphabet people aren’t anything special in this group.

That's because entire entire societies are build on the concepts of bravery, strength, ability, manhood and honor, at least in theory.

Hard to see how early societies could have survived in any other way. However, did you know that among the Plains Indians there was some provision made for males who didn't measure up to the expected standards? They had no honor and didn't run with the braves, but weren't persecuted either. When the real men went out hunting and fighting, they stayed home and took care of the squaws.

This issue needs to be studied for Neanderthal Man.

Any known LQBTXYZ fossils would probably be found with big club marks on the heads.

“But, me special.”

Clunk.

I thought Native Americans had this concept of “two spirits” and that they accepted LGBTQRST... individuals as perfectly acceptable in their culture.

George Catlin, in 1832, found that the “dandies”
or “fops” were disliked by the other men and chiefs of the tribes.
From Catlin’s letter #16.
He planned to paint a portrait of one, but the other chiefs made it clear that they did not want their portraits in the same lodge as the “dandy”. Catlin was told to destroy the Chief’s portraits or destroy the Fop’s.
Catlin destroyed the portrait of the fop.
In the preface to the book, the publishing editor makes clear these men were the sexual perverts of the tribe.

In Casteneda’s book about the expedition of Coronado to Cibola and Gran Quivara, he mentions of finding whole villages of “sodomites,” men living with men dressed as women.

Right, there have always been wrinkles and exceptions in their habits and heirarchies, at least as regards the limited practices I was told about, or exposed to.

When I still around the tribes fairly often the special treatment might include some vague carve-outs for special cases, including visual artists, talented rope handlers, or the best of the the dancers who might compete and win at home or traveling to other well-known contests.

Oh. And basketball and long-distance running. The best in these two groups are honored as kings and (no pun intended) queens. Win the state championship in hoops and the chief (sorry,) challenge in your life will be to stay sober enough savor every minute of every breath.

**Always thought their was something funny about all those feathers...**

Catlin said the costumes of the men and homos of the tribes were very different.
The warriors, wore Eagle and Hawk feathers.
The gays, duck feathers.

The warriors wore buffalo horns and deer skins for clothing.
The gays soft goat skins.

The warriors had scalp locks of slain enemies and bear claws on theirs.
The gays had nothing. fighting and hunting bears was too dangerous for them. They stayed with the women.

The warriors wore their hair in a warrior’s fashion.
The Gays wore their hair the way the women did.

The Warriors hated the un-manly gays.

Catlin said they were the equivalent of “drone bees” in the tribe, doing nothing.

My info comes from artist George Catlin’s study of the Plains Indians, around 1830. He was really taken by them, as an artist, and went to live amongst them. He came very close to getting into serious trouble with the Mandan tribe he lived with, when, seeing a group of males who looked particularly colorful, he started to paint them ... a big no-no, since these were the second-class males, and the chief and other braves were offended that he’d prefer them. The way he described them, I’d presume that these Indians in “gay apparel” were of the limp-wristed variety. Some things never change!

LOL!!!

Ever notice how Dems find an isolated instance of something and blow it up to sound like a nationwide crisis?

Depression goes with being Indian and gay, and in Haaland’s case, the daughter of Biden’s Secretary of the Interior.
