This is what NativeBio is trying to fight. DNA is a business, estimated to be worh $172 billion/year by 2035. We live in a glut of information, including disinformation. The Genomics field already has a history of racism, power dynamics, data theft, surgical/chemical sterilization and murder.

Five Ways Native American Communities Honor Turkeys Some Indigenous peoples in the U.S. Southwest have a long relationship with turkeys, which they use for their feathers, eggs, meat, and more.

Lots of ignorance about Turkeys, including their domestication, why they are named Turkeys, how many species of Turkeys there are and their distribution across the Americas. Remember Benjamin Franklin wanted Turkeys as the USA National symbol for a reason? www.sapiens.org/archaeology/...

Data in today’s world is King. Indigenous peoples of the Americas have so much unrealized data. Be careful in a land that is becoming increasingly anti-indigenous. The reason for their actions & propaganda is this “new gold”. Remember, Musk said “We’ll coup anyone we want, anytime we want!”
