For her latest work, "She Was My Brother," Jensen turned to the little-known history of two late-19th-century ethnographers, Frank Cushing and Matilda Cox Stevenson. After studying the Zuni tribe of American Indians, the ethnographers took a Zuni to Washington, D.C., as a cultural ambassador.

Unbeknownst to the corridors of power in the nation's capital, the real-life charge of Cushing and Stevenson was a transgender male — in Zuni parlance, "two-spirited."
