Osh-Tisch (which means "Finds Them and Kills Them" in Crow)〔Also spelled ''Ohchiish''; from ''óhchikaapi'' "find".〕 was Crow ''badé''. A ''badé'' (also spelled ''baté'') was a biological male who lived as a woman (similar to the modern concept of a trans woman). In the late 1890s, an American agent named Briskow jailed Osh-Tisch and the other ''badés'', and forced them to get masculine haircuts, wear masculine clothing, and perform manual labor. The Crow, who esteemed the ''badés'', were outraged, saying it went against their nature.〔''The Crow Indians'' (1983, ISBN 0803279094)〕 Chief Pretty Eagle used what power he had to compel the agent to resign and leave tribal lands.〔〔Walter L. Williams, ''The Spirit and the Flesh: Sexual Diversity in American Indian Culture'' (ISBN 0807046159)〕 Describing the incident in 1982, Joe Medicine Crow, who had known Osh-Tisch as a child, said "It was a tragedy, trying to change them. Briskow was crazy."〔 Nonetheless, Osh-Tisch was one of the last ''badés'' of the Crow Nation, and the institution of the ''badé'' went into decline. Pretty Shield reported that Osh-Tisch fought in the Battle of the Rosebud.〔Pretty-shield: Medicine Woman of the Crows (Second Edition)〕 ==See also== * Two spirit 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Osh-Tisch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
