As we near the holidays that erase the harsh parts of U.S. history, we turn to why #gender is a powerful tool for colonial control and the #indigenous way out towards a liberatory future. #trans #twospirit #lgbtq #WomensRights

🏳️‍⚧️ Many traditional Native American cultures accepted and revered individuals who are today referred to as "Two-Spirit," which encompasses a variety of gender identities and sexual orientations. These individuals often held respected roles as healers, spiritual leaders, and ceremonial figures. However, the acceptance and the views on these roles varied among different tribes, and the impact of European colonization, forced assimilation, and Christian influence has led to negative views on homosexuality in many communities today. 

Traditional acceptance and roles
• "Two-Spirit" identity: Many tribes recognized individuals with both masculine and feminine spirits, referred to by different names such as mexoga (Omaha), winkte (Lakota), and nadleehe (Navajo). 
• Spiritual and ceremonial roles: Two-Spirit people were often seen as having a special spiritual connection and held important positions as healers, shamans, and ceremonial leaders. #Trans #LGBTQ #Transgender #TwoSpirit





🏳️‍⚧️💖Next, for my honoring of important elders of our community for the Trans Day of Remembrance is We'wha, a Ihamana, and two-spirit member of the Zuni tribe. There is no consensus on what pronouns are best for We'wha but because native/indigenous folks recognize Ihamana as being distinct from men or women, and fulfilling both roles in their culture I will be using (they/them). We'wha was, perhaps, one of the most famous and influential Ihamana in history. They were a cultural ambassador for Native and indigenous peoples, especially the Zuni. They lived from 1849-1896, during a time when our trans kin had almost no representation, no language to conceptualize our experience, and no safety--and despite this they were sought out and elevated in writing. They learned english and were very knowledgeable; this enabled them to educate Euro-american white individuals and be a valuable contact for many different groups and institutions. They were part of a Zuni delegation to Washington D.C. and even met the president, Grover Cleveland. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍🩷

🏳️‍⚧️💖⚧️ Thank you, We'wha. You are a paragon of representation and community. Rest in power, dear sibling.💖🏳️‍⚧️⚧️
