We R Native is for Native Youth to ask their relatives any questions that are on their heart.

We’re stoked that you’re reaching out for support. All questions are read and we aim to answer 1-2 NEW questions per month. A limited number are answered on the We R Native website. By submitting a question, you agree that it may be published on the site. Check out answers that other Native youth have asked.

Please note that Ask Your Relative is not a crisis hotline or a counseling service. Our staff are not available 24/7. If you need immediate help, text “NATIVE” to 741-741 or dial or text 988 from any phone for free 24/7 counseling support. You can also check out more Native Youth Support Resources here.

Take care!

Your Relatives,
Manda, Paige, Jane, Asia, Corey, and Maleah

I’m a 19 year old Two-Spirit who identifies as male. For me to feel comfortable I cut my hair because growing up even on my Rez girls had long hair and unless you have “Native hair” boys have short hair. I want to grow my hair but I don’t want my tribes people to start calling me female names/pronouns. Any tips?
