'I had never been married before. I don't know if all grooms have the same experience.'

'But as Kicking Bird began to speak about what was expected of a Sioux husband, my mind began to swim in a way that shut out everything, but her. The tiny details of her costume. The contours of her shape. The light in her eyes. The smallness of her feet.'

'I knew that the love between us would be served.' - dances with wolves

The antelope are strange people ... they are beautiful to look at, and yet they are tricky. We do not trust them. They appear and disappear; they are like shadows on the plains. Because of their great beauty, young men sometimes follow the antelope and are lost forever. Even if those foolish ones find themselves and return, they are never again right in their heads.

Pretty Shield, Medicine Woman of the Crows, transcribed and edited by Frank Linderman (1932) as quoted by Louise Erdrich in “The Strange People” +

Christian leaders stand on our soil and claim: 'gay marriage' has never occurred here. Over 130 tribes in every region of North America performed millions of same-sex marriages for hundreds of years. Their statements are both hateful and ignorant. Your 'homosexual,' was our 'Two Spirit' people... and we considered them sacred.
