An example that comes to my mind are two-spirits from the Quapaws and Illinois. They were a man or woman who adopted the opposite gender's clothing at a young age, in a sense taking on the soul of both genders. As the English term may hint at, they were seen as spirits or at least held some sort of spiritual role and played an important part in ceremonies.
I don't know how many other Indigenous American nations had something like this, but I do at least know these two did. I do not have any references to give on hand, but I recommend looking around online or at your local library (academic likely would be easier to find something if you go that route)!
