]]> Comment on A Life of Two-Spirits by Helen 'Taylor' Little http://www.ne2ss.org/2007/05/06/a-life-of-two-spirits/#comment-1224 Helen 'Taylor' Little Sun, 03 Feb 2008 21:39:14 +0000 http://www.ne2ss.org/2007/05/06/a-life-of-two-spirits/#comment-1224 I wrote a book titled, 'The Forest of Life" a couple of years ago about lesbian 'Two-Spirits.' It's doing quite well on Amazon.com, but I've yet to be endorsed by my native sisters and brothers. I wrote it from the Cherokee tribe perspective. One of which I'm extremely proud to call my forefathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, friends and family. Although it's a fictional account of romance and adventure, my fans have said it opened their eyes on many areas they'd never conceived. The interesting fact is that most of my fans are 'straight.' I often wonder why we as a people, a community, a beautiful minority, don't band together and honor the culture and traditions of 'Two-Spirits.' Our numbers are plenteous - for we were the first settlers of America. We are were eagles dared. We are the buffalo that rode the lands...the bears that cut paths through the woods and mountains...the wolves that howled at night...the deer that ran swiftly through the forest. Our spirits live in the trees and fertilize the soils with wild flowers. It is our ashes that color the hillsides. There's an old country song that sang: "You can take the girl out the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl." I think the same applies with our heritage. Although, I'm only one-quarter Cherokee, I don't think that matters on the grand scheme. Wish I was 100%, but I can't change that. Still that blood flows through my veins like a river. I can't change a lot, but WE CAN! One person, by one person, by one person, by one person, by one person, by one person, We CAN! Collectively, we are a powerful voice. Let me know whatever I can do to help the Northeast Two-Spirit Society. If you have a moment, please review my blog. It'll give you a clearer picture of who I am inwardly. With honor and respect.
