Will Roscoe's Changing Ones, published by St Martin's Press in 1998, is a scholarly survey of third and fourth gender traditions among Native North American peoples, drawing on ethnographic and historical sources across many nations. Its authority rests on Roscoe's standing as a specialist researcher on this subject and on the breadth of primary ethnographic material it synthesises. Its scope spans many distinct nations and traditions, so a claim about one specific people's practice is stronger when checked against a source focused on that nation in particular.
