Science Ethics and Policy Symposium 2022

What is Native American DNA? The interest in ‘Native American DNA’ as a research object by geneticists, anthropologists, and genealogists has a long history of research misconduct and has raised ethical concerns, fostering mistrust in scientific entities from Tribal groups. Hear about the reluctant relationship between Indigenous groups and scientific entities from current Native American and Indigenous scientists and how they are restructuring science so that Native Americans are partners in research, not simply subjects.
