Osh-Tisch

Osh-Tisch

Osh-Tisch was a leading badé (modern terminology: two-spirit) of the Crow Nation. Osh-Tisch translates as "Finds Them and Kills Them".[1] Badés, males living as females, such as Osh-Tisch held such an esteemed place amongst the Crow that when an American agent jailed them and forced them to get masculine haircuts in the late 1890's, Chief Pretty Eagle ordered the agent off tribal lands.[1] Osh-Tisch was one of the last badé of the Crow Nation, as the institution went into decline during her lifetime.[2]
