- In recognition of National Native American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on March 20, the Knowledge Center recommends the book Indian Blood: HIV & Colonial Trauma in San Francisco's Two-Spirit Community. Using discussions, surveys, and focus groups, author Andrew J. Jolivette explores how historical trauma has affected beliefs about people who identify as two-spirit within Native American communities, using San Francisco as a focus. The book covers a shift in perceptions of two-spirit tribal members from revered to shunned and the resulting impact on the health and wellbeing of two-spirit people, who have disproportionately high rates of HIV.
