Biography

Transwoman Marjorie Anne Napewastewiñ Schützer describes herself as a Native American two-souls person, clinical therapist, museum lecturer, artist, writer, musician, singer, weaver, photographer, horse breeder and trainer, boat builder, the parent of two and a grandparent. "When I was about eight years old I made a deal with myself; I had had these thoughts in my spirit since I was around three years old. The deal was that I would live the first half of my life as a male and then the rest as the person that I thought I was always meant to be - the woman that I am today", Napewastewiñ says. After her successful sex reassignment surgery was performed in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Napewastewiñ wrote her initial paper "Winyanktehca: Two-souls Person", from her hospital bed while recovering, which led to a few years of talking at conferences and symposiums around Europe. Following twenty-two years in Europe, Napewastewiñ returned to the U.S. She has remained a staunch advocate and popular presenter for transgendered and transsexual rights and issues. She now lives in Louisiana, U.S.A. after having spearheaded the rescue of more than 400 horses after Hurricane Katrina.
