I'm a girl who has picked up and moved from coast to coast (& north past most of Canada). That is... Norfolk, Virginia to Bethel, Alaska. --- This journal is a record of the move, and life in the Tundra.

Sacred Souls

A is in a class at the moment that discusses issues of rural living. Not sure what the topic was, but she came back and filled me in on a belief within at least some of the Alaska Native and Native American cultures.

Gay/Lesbian individuals are sacred within their beliefs. They are considered to be a being of both Male and Female spirits and somewhat more whole. They're so sacred, that if a child is orphaned, they are given to these individuals to raise because they are both maternal and paternal.


Awesome way of looking at things.
