Why Indigenous-led Genomics Matters: Part I (ep 348)

What is genomics? In what ways might Indigenous genomics differ from its mainstream counterpart? And why is it important they be Indigenous-led? Answers to those questions and more on this special edition of MEDIA INDIGENA, recorded live on location at the Global Indigenous Leadership in Genomics Symposium, hosted this past May at the University of British Columbia. Joining Rick Harp for the first half of this two-part conversation were MI regular (and SING Canada co-founder) Kim TallBear, as well as Warren Cardinal-McTeague, UBC Assistant Professor of Forest and Conservation Sciences and SING faculty member. Much gratitude to UBC's School for Public Policy and Global Affairs, the Global Journalism Innovation Lab, and SING Canada, for making this event possible. 📄 TRANSCRIPT: https://mediaindigena.com/why-indigenous-led-genomics-matters-part-i-ep-348/ // CREDITS: 'Yacht Commander' by Midnight Commando (CC BY 4.0); our intro/extro theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.
