I haven't does as much research on Native American beliefs, but I do at least seem to recall a "Contrary" role in some of the Great Plains cultures, in which part of your duty was to act in a fashion opposite societal expectations. Crossdress, say the opposite of what you mean, such things. Re-enforce societal rules by turning them on their head, basically.
