Kim TallBear Book Discussion

Kim TallBear will host a virtual discussion of her book, “Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science” (University of Minnesota Press, 2013), which addresses questions with profound ramifications: Who is a Native American? And who gets to decide?

TallBear established the teaching and research program, Indigenous Science, Technology and Society, which informs “national, global and Indigenous thought and policymaking related to science and technology” to promote Indigenous self-determination. TallBear is a citizen of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota.
