Colonialization has marginalized Indigenous women (as well as men), making
Native Dykes almost completely invisible. We celebrate the survival of Two
Spirit women of First Nations in this issue. Submissions may be in any
format - taped interviews, dialogues, as well as fiction, poetry, etc.
Please respect certain definitions, which have often been violated - ie. we
ask for work from lesbians who are Native in this lifetime only, recognized
by their tribes or communities (although a BIA number is not required) and
willing to use their name rather than a pseudonym (this is to help prevent
submissions of non-authentic work). We define Indigenous Dykes as coming
from the Americas, as well as the Pacific (Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia),
with a land base (ie. reservation, ranchero, etc.) and a tribal affiliation
(Maori, Koori, Cree, etc.). Government recognition of tribal status is not
necessary (ie. we recognize the Duwamish). We are particularly interested in
stories from dykes who were in residential schools, Elders, incarcerated, &
in honor of those who have passed on (Barbara Cameron NationShield, Smiley
Hillaire). Edited by Chrystos (Menominee) and Sunny Birdstone (Ktunaxa).
