Did you know that many Indigenous cultures have recognized the reality of multiple genders for thousands of years?
Nádleeh (Diné)- In the Diné language, there are at least six genders: Asdzáán (woman), Hastíín (male), Náhleeh (feminine-man), Dilbáá (masculine-woman), Nádleeh Asdzaa (le***an) and Nádleeh Hastiin (gay man). These genders all come from the Diné creation story. The Nádleeh were seen as a special group that could perform the duties of both men and women. They embodied both the feminine and masculine spirit. Nádleeh were the teachers, healers, they cared for the children, etc. The Diné people have always understood gender as a spectrum rather than a binary, an understanding has come from traditional teachings and our creation story. Thank you Dempsey Designs Beadwork for this definition.
Two Spirit (Native American)- A modern world identifying name for the Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ and Two-Spirit community
Qariwarmi/Qhariwarmi (Quechua) - "The Andean third gender, the non-binary gender that is the fusion of the feminine and masculine. Historically, they were, also, guardians of the feline deity Chuqui Chinchay" Thank you for working on this definitions with us!
