Four years before Annie Proulx's story "Brokeback Mountain"
appeared in the "New Yorker," William Haywood Henderson published
"Native," the tale of three gay men ensnared in the politics and
prejudices of an isolated ranching town in Wyoming's Wind River
Valley. Blue Parker, a careful twenty-three-year-old ranch foreman,
in love with the West and his home in the mountains, finds himself
drawn to his new ranch hand, Sam. For the first time in his life,
Blue feels the possibility of a romantic connection, and he makes
tentative plans to secret himself and Sam away in an idyllic camp
high in the mountains. But the arrival in town of Gilbert, a Native
American from the Wind River Indian Reservation, a man who fancies
himself a modern-day berdache (or Two-Spirit), pushes Blue and Sam
in unexpected, dangerous directions. Gilbert attempts to recreate
the ancient traditions of his people, but the world has changed.
Ultimately, Gilbert must try to find a new place for himself in
society, and Blue must choose between his home and protecting the
man he loves.
