Sahaykwisā was a Mohave Shaman who lived in what is now Colorado from 1850 to 1895, when she was raped and murdered. She was known as a Transvestite and a Lesbian, though as a Shaman she was probably a Two-spirit, a Shaman who in many Native American cultures is seen as embodying the spirit of both a man and woman. Her story has been passed down orally as Mohave lore, and her story may be somewhat tainted.
