      abstract = {The Will Roscoe Papers and Gay American Indians (GAI)  Records include private and professional papers, clippings,  correspondence, and research related to gay American  Indians. Founded in 1975, GAI was the first organization to  focus on the gay Native American community. Roscoe served  as the coordinator of GAI's History Project; and was  involved in the founding of Nomenus, an Oregon-based  non-profit religious organization serving Radical Faeries,  a group with roots in paganism and environmentalism that  attaches a spriritual dimension to its members sexuality.  Roscoe's papers, covering the years 1970 to 2007, include a  bibliography and source materials on the berdache, or  two-spirit (third gender) tradition of Native American  peoples. Correspondence, clippings, and proposals related  to the American Anthropological Association and the Society  of Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists can also be found here,  as well as materials associated with the Radical Faeries,  including correspondence, newsletters, member directories,  and Nomenus documents. Additional materials include  Roscoe's collection of zines, poetry chapbooks, and  pamphlets about radical politics, and records associated  with his work with the San Francisco Queer Club & Circuit  Party Outreach Project, a group which promoted harm  reduction at dance clubs and circuit parties. The GAI  Records, spanning 1983 to 1998, include correspondence,  audiotapes and interview transcripts, publicity and grant  documents, business reports, newsletters, and AIDS outreach  materials directed at the Native American community. In  addition, researchers will find information associated with  the publication of Living the Spirit: A Gay American Indian  Anthology, edited by Roscoe, including galleys and  publisher and contributor records.},
