    There is some contention, even among ourselves. It is always best to use the name of the tribe you are discussing but when that is not possible I would say american indian is the best. "native american" is a profoundly misleading term that was made up by guilt ridden white liberals in the 70's.

    I think "gay" is a very confining word that has connotations of referring to a very specific kind of relationship, usually cis-gendered men attracted to cis men. Queer is the easiest way to describe myself without pulling out a lot of words like pansexual or gender-non-conforming that most people dont know. Queer is inclusive. Ive definitely heard it being used in a derogatory way but overwhelmingly I her it in a positive prideful context.

    Yes plenty you just have to look. A good starting point could be researching terms like 'two-spirit' or "berdache". Before christianity homesexuals in most tribes held respected positions and responsibilities.
