Finds Them And Kills Them was the New Seminole link to the Outside world and proved to be a real bad ass when it came to fighting for Gaia. Once a Marine (I know, and always a Marine) he was skilled in hand-to-hand combat and a weapons master, from a machete to an AK. In short, he wasn't one to mess with when you got him riled.
That said, he taught me how to apply my warpaint, what brand to use-- Maybelline was the NS brand of choice because of how it stood up in the humidity-- and introduced me to the work of Native American fashion designers. Those beaded boots you see in the picture are by Jamie Okuma. A pair just like them are behind glass in the National Museum of the American Indian.
It's when I was hanging with the NS that I learned Native Americans had no problem with being gay. In fact "Two Spirit" people were highly revered and families that included them were considered blessed. Native Americans believe a person who is able to "see the world through the eyes of both genders at the same time was a gift from The Creator." You can learn more here.
