The first part of the feature includes excerpts from two documentaries that deal with different aspects of being Native and homosexual or two-spirited. The first piece comes from Democracy Now (at democracynow.org), and we'll hear first from Joe Shirley, president of the Dine' Nation, and then from Dawn McKinley, Cherokee, who has been fighting for legal recognition of her partnership within Cherokee courts, as well as David Cornsilk, a lawyer working on Mrs. McKinley's case.
The second part is just a taste from the award-wining documentary Out On the Rez by Outright Radio, available online at www.outrightradio.org . This show features a rare inside look at some Dine', Crow, and Southern Ute 2-Spirit folks living on or near their reservations. Thank you to all the folks that helped produce these radio pieces and making them free online, and also to Ralph Kotay and Eric Lassiter for the Hand Game Song and to the Hidden Cameras for the use of their song "Ban Marriage". You are listening to Native Solidarity News, available online at radio4all.net.
