2. We'wha

"In 1886 the nation's capital hosted a remarkable cultural ambassador. The "Zuni maiden" named We'wha mingled with "the most enlightened society of the metropolis," demonstrated arts and crafts, befriended the Speaker of the House and other dignitaries, and appeared in a major charity event to the "deafening applause" of an audience that included President Grover Cleveland. Although he was the "tallest, certainly the strongest" member of his tribe, and despite his "rather large" features, no one in Washington doubted that We'wha was a woman. It was a long way from the dusty pueblo in New Mexico where We'wha lived as a traditional Zuni berdache - a man who preferred women's work and adopted female dress. But for such an individual exceptional behavior was expected. Zunis believed that men skilled at women's crafts (and women skilled in male activities) combined the two sexes. This made them extraordinary in every respect."
