something I've been trying to find any scrap of info on is like... gender stuff and Yurok culture. The language itself doesn't have gendered pronouns and sometimes the gender terms (grandma/grandpa) etc will shift a bit depending on when the subject is in the story that's being told (??? i'll need to double check this), so the grammar rules are interesting
but when all the info on the language was collected, most of the informants were men and there were not a lot of questions regarding like, sexuality and such so it kind of comes down to gender roles
Roni Jo Draper was talking in a podcast a while back about how there were some tasks that were restricted to just men or just women, but sometimes someone would just. do it anyway
like a man making tight-woven baskets, which were typically done by women
and so the people were like "okay, i guess that's just a man that makes baskets like women now"
