The following readings have been selected to supplement lectures and discussions and to enhance the learning of our workshop participants.  The reading list is a compilation of articles meant to introduce some of the main concepts, methods, and approaches explored during our workshops but it is a helpful tool for anyone interested in learning more about Indigenous genomics. Do not be discouraged if you are unfamiliar with the material or have difficulty fully understanding it. The goal of reading is to begin familiarizing yourself with the material.
