Muksamse'lapli, also known as White Cindy, was a Two-Spirit Klamath healer who lived on a small ranch on the shore of Agency Lake, in Oregon, close to the Klamath Reservation.[1] Muksamse'lapli was assigned male at birth, but is referred to in most historical and contemporary accounts as a woman or transvestite, and referred to themself as "half she and half he".[2]
Muksamse'lapli's knowledge of healing and botany were respected and sought after by both Klamath[2] and non-Native botanists seeking knowledge of local plants.[1]
Muksamse'lapli was arrested and jailed for violent altercations with Klamath people on the reservation, though in some of these cases the plea was self-defense.[3]
Muksamse'lapli was married twice.[2]
