“In most Indigenous languages, Blackfeet included, there are no gendered pronouns."
But isn't "they" a pronoun in her context?

Sounds like she's an idiot. In the English language, there are gendered pronouns, so when she's speaking English she needs to use them unless she wants to sound illiterate.
