He’emane’o, Cheyenne male two-spirits (on right), leading the scalp dance

Another common feature of two-spirit roles was their spiritual dimension. Cheyenne male two-spirits led the scalp dance, the tribe’s most important ceremony, while among the Crow, a boté traditionally selected the tree used to make the central pole of the Sun Dance lodge. Among the Mohave, male and female two-spirits were often shamans and healers.
