Rainbow Honor Walk honoree We’wha

In honor of Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the life and legacy of Rainbow Honor Walk honoree We’wha (c. 1849 – c. 1896). A revered Zuni lhamana—a Two-Spirit person who embraced both male and female roles—We’wha was a gifted weaver, potter, spiritual leader, and cultural ambassador. In 1886, they traveled to Washington, D.C., met President Grover Cleveland, and shared the rich artistry and traditions of the Zuni people with the wider world.

We’wha’s life reminds us that gender diversity and spiritual wholeness have always been part of human history—and that honoring Indigenous traditions means honoring every expression of identity.
