Two-spirit people (also two spirit or twospirit) is an umbrella term sometimes used for what was once commonly known as berdaches /bərˈdæʃɨz/, indigenous North Americans who fulfill one of many mixed gender roles in First Nations and Native American tribes.

Third gender roles historically embodied by two-spirit people include performing work and wearing clothing associated with both men and women. The presence of male two-spirits "was a fundamental institution among most tribal peoples."[1] According to Will Roscoe, male and female two-spirits have been "documented in over 130 North America tribes, in every region of the continent."[2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Spirit
