There is also some work by Native Americans on this subject which critiques and offers alternatives to the term berdache that are definitely worth consulting along with Hauser. A good starting point would be: 1. Sue-Ellen. Lang Jacobs and Thomas, Wesley, eds., Two-Spirit People: Native American Gender Identity, Sexuality, and Spirituality (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1997). 2. Will Roscoe, Changing Ones: Third and Fourth Genders in Native North America (New York: St. Martin's Press, 1998). I have a larger bibliography, but it grows less relevant to early America and more to a course on Native American history up to the present.

There are several articles on same sex relations in that special issue (William & Mary Quarterly, 3rd. ser., 60.1 [2003]) as well as some mention of the discussion about the anachronism of the term homosexual and some of the ways of dealing with it which the student ought to be aware of. -- Richard C.
