Great #data #sovereignty READ! Thanks @samjscience @Nature featuring @NativeBio and cofounders @kstsosie @kfox @science_punx “How rapidly we can sequence.. create data... commodify — I don’t think that the policy has caught up,” says Fox.

NativeBio ( https://t.co/B1hFAXDOj7) and Mass Design Group ( https://t.co/QNdfvAlG2I) will be at Abundant Futures ( https://t.co/I4RDeDWZaa) next week in Boston! Here's how we've worked together for Indian Country

For now, it seems the 23 & Me "problem" has been solved but our own Co-founder & Board Member, Dr. Krystal Tsosie (Dine'-Navajo) weighed in on the controversy. This is only the beginning of the battle to protect Genomic privacy. Which side are you on?

NativeBio is now part of the Crowd! Our own Dr. Kali Dale (Ojibwe) will be presenting at the GE3LS* Expert Focus Group Workshop August 21–23, 2025 Québec City. She will be helping Canada move forward DNA research that respects Indigenous Data Sovereignty

Native Bio is honored and proud to long be part of the Summer Internship for Indigenous Peoples in Genomics (SING) and proud to co-sponsor the 2nd Annual SING Micronesia cohort! SING keeps going and growing. #SINGenomics

2/2 It's altogether folks. One big problem between Settlers and Indigenous is the right to control what is ours by birthright: Children, Gravesites, Our Historical Narrative and OUR GENOMES!

1/2 Many folks don't understand NativeBio's mission when it come to DNA and healthcare, but for sure they understand right away when it comes to Language Data and Ancestors Remains.

IF you are able....check this out....pre-register and get some of the truth and why Native communities are worried about the big data era and the threat of neocolonialism and resource extraction. ELSI and the Sale of Genetic Data: The Case of 23andMe

Dear Tribal Leaders at @NCAI @NDNrights @lakotalaw and the Coalition of Large Tribes (COLT), Get in there and use your voice, Bayh-Dole 1980 forgot to consult with you. But you have rights too. This is $$billions you're leaving on the table.

2/2 But that very powerful idea gave way to weak and non-sovereign MOU/MOAs. Here we reassert the Tribes' right to control their own resources.

1/2 Back in 2007-2009, Alaska Tribes along with Dr. Gerald V. Mohatt recommended that Federal agencies sign contracts directly with Tribes, rather than 3rd parties like universities or Research Recruitment Nurse freelancers in or near Tribal Nations.

Things are dark....but please read this aspirational description of some truly good work done by some truly good people.

For any undergraduate students at @ASU that want to learn about the fun and complicated intersections between #biology and society, to include #ecology, #conservation, #health, and #medicine:

Thanks and good work D4I Tribal Data Repository !

2/2 at long last, allow Indigenous Australians do the complex and vital work for their people without worrying about exploitation, data theft and Colonial weaponization of Tribal Data.

1/2 If you don't know, Indigenous Data Sovereignty is on the move worldwide. We are definitely in Good Company! Here's Alex Brown from ANU NCIG (National Centre for Indigenous Genomics) talking about their many efforts and products that,

3/3 the D4I Tribal Data Repository where we fight for all the Indigenous, their scientific, data and biological resources. Help us spread the word and fight for the next 7 generations. The beauty here is in the spirit, deeds and mutual love of the land and all it contains.
