We'wha, a famous Zuni Ihamana who was skilled at weaving.
In the traditional culture of the Zuni people, a group of Native Americans, Lhamana are people who were born male but take on social and ceremonial roles usually done by women. They often wear a mix of clothing for both men and women. Their work often includes tasks that Zuni women traditionally performed. Today, some hamana are part of the larger two-spirit community, which includes many different Native American gender identities.
The most well-known Ihamana was We'wha (1849- 1896). In 1886, We'wha traveled to Washington, D.C. as part of a Zuni group. While there, they met with the President of the United States, Grover Cleveland.
