In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.

The noun for a female Native American was squaw.

The noun for a male Native American was brave.

These terms originated at a time in American history when European settlers used these terms to categorize Native Americans as a lesser human than themselves. Today both squaw and brave can be offensive terms; it is better say "man" and "woman" or "Native American man or woman."
