AB  - 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.
