[edit] Break it up

I think it would make a lot of sense to break up this article into three separate articles, considering that it has three sections for the three different prominent people named Yellow Head.Spottacus 18:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Breaking it up is fine, but please keep in mind that in the scope of things, the two chiefs are not as well known as the berdache in American history, though all three are very important in Ojibwe history. CJLippert 23:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronouns

Should we go ahead and change all the "he" pronouns to "she" for the berdache who was culturally considered a woman rather than a man? CJLippert 23:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I think not; regardless of anyone's feelings or social sensibilities, the article should refer to individuals in their actual (biological) gender. Spottacus 04:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
