The Contrary

Not Man...
Not Woman

Contraries preferred the duties and dress of women, and were respected for their mastery of female crafts.They occasionally donned male attire and became warriors, at times riding their horses into battle, sitting backwards on their steeds. This unique society is revered by many Native American tribes.
