Does anyone have any good Indigenous American literature on two-spirit and the role it plays in the culture? Also any fiction featuring two-spirit characters?
The site above has a great starting list with books I've been meaning to read, as well as videos and articles.
2S roles vary by Tribe/Nation, as I understand it.
@moniquill @tepkunset Any other Native followers please feel free to add!

Some fictional book recs with 2S rep:
"Love Beyond Body, Space & Time" A collection of Indigenous sci-fi and urban fantasy short stories focusing on Indigiqueer and 2S characters by various authors.
"Between Earth and Sky" Series by Rebecca Roanhorse An an epic fantasy series inspired by pre-Columbian Americas. It's a great mixture of clashing politics, prophecy, and fantastic characters. There is a large cast with different genders and sexualities, including characters within cultures outside of a binary gender system. (The first novel is Black Sun)
And here is one that I haven't personally red (yet) but have heard positive things about: "Jonny Appleseed" by Joshua Whitehead
