'''Two spirit''' is an [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive gender]] for Native Americans. Typically two spirit people fulfill one of many mixed gender roles found traditionally among many Native Americans and Canadian First Nations indigenous groups. The mixed gender roles encompassed by the term historically included wearing the clothing and performing the work associated with both men and women. It refers to a person who has the spirit of both woman and man within them, in that way it could be thought of as a cultural version of [[bigender]]. The term is also used by [[transgender]] and [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] Native Americans even if they wouldn’t describe themselves as bigender specifically. In a way it can be used as an umbrella term. Most tribes have a tribe-specific name for two-spirit.
