berdache
Definition
Among North American Indians, especially the Sioux and the Crow, a teenage boy would make a pilgrimage into the desert to receive a vision as to what his role in life should be. Most boys saw themselves as warriors, but others, known as berdache, would don womens clothes, perform womens work, and serve as communal babysitters.
