Lozen, Osh-Tisch and We'wha: Indigenous Two Spirit Icons; The Mysterious Sword of Goujian
Manage episode 365679644 series 3325432
Hey cool kids. Welcome to Episode 62. It this episode, the sisters take a moment to explore what it means to be Midwestern Americans: why do we love ranch dressing so much? Why does it take so long to say good bye and the use of the exclamation "ope!" Kt shocks us all by initiating the bottle, leaf, grinder battle for the first time in our 62 episodes, which was absolutely unprecedented and shocking. Laurel kicks off the history party with talking about Indigenous two spirit people of the North American Great Plains and Southwest. Laurel's portion discusses what the modern term "two spirit" means and a few notable figures in history to which this term would apply. She tells us about Lozen, an Apache warrior and shaman; Osh-Tisch, a baté from the Crow Nation; and We'wha, a talented artisan and cultural ambassador for the Zuni tribe. Next, Kt takes us through the history of the mysterious Sword of Goujian, which was buried in an underwater tomb for over 2,000 but showed no signs of tarnish upon its discovery, looking just as fresh as if it were made the day before
