This article explores how scientific writings during the late 1800s and early 1900s used intersecting ideas about race, sexuality, and colonialism to marginalize LGBTQ+ American Indians and Alaska Natives, arguing that these harmful narratives continue to shape inequities today and that examining language is important for decolonization efforts.
