The Search for Soaring Hawk

Son of an Indian brave and a white captive, Soaring Hawk is raised in the native customs. As he grows into manhood, he discovers his desire for the love of men. Knowing the fate of those of ‘two spirits’ within his tribe, he leaves the Indian village, disguises his heritage, and enters the white man’s world as Samuel Hawkins. He soon discovers life is difficult for a man who prefers men. While he finds companionship, and forms bonds with many of the men he meets, he is unable to find a relationship which satisfies his deepest need. He also discovers much of what is in the world outside his village conflicts with the values of his native upbringing. He embarks on an odyssey which takes him across the continent and into the arms and beds of many lovers. As he travels, he comes to realize love has many forms. But the one he seeks most continually eludes him. Where will his odyssey lead him? Will he ever come to the end of his search for Soaring Hawk?

Chapter 21

Letting the compassion he felt take the central role, he went to him and pulled him into his arms. The two sat. Lean Bear propped against Soaring Hawk’s chest, his legs drawn up, his arms folded against his own chest. He did not cry, but made whimpering sounds, like an animal in pain.

“We must leave,” Soaring Hawk said, trying his best to make his voice steady and soothing. “We’ll leave tonight. I’ll take my share of the furs. I have two horses And we can go while the village is quiet. We’ll go to the trading…”

“Yes,” Lean Bear said. “Yes, but it’s you who will go. I’ll remain here.”

“No! Why? Why will you not come with me?”

“I’m too frightened by what’s out there. I fear the white man. I cannot go.”

“Then I will stay,” said Soaring Hawk desperately.
