Joseph Yracheta | NISO website
Joseph M. Yracheta is an Amerindigenous Scientist (P’urhepecha y Raramuri from Mexico) at the Native BioData Consortium which exists within the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation (Sioux) of South Dakota. Mr. Yracheta has been a scientist since 1990 where he started as a bench biotechnician and worked across many biomedical disciplines. In 2014 he graduated from the UW-Seattle with a master’s of Pharmaceutics and Bioethics under Drs. Ken Thummel and Wylie Burke. He is currently finishing a DrPH in Environmental Health and Engineering from Johns-Hopkins under Drs. Ana Navas-Acien and Paul Locke. Mr. Yracheta is passionately working to achieve Indigenous Data Sovereignty by "wearing many research hats" of law, ethics, policy, genomics, omics, health outcomes, epidemiology, health care prevention/intervention and amelioration from systemic racism. Mr. Yracheta believes that ALL data and resources must be seen as unforeseen futures, where their value will constantly change. He feels this data must be secured for Indigenous economic and cultural sustainability.

2/2 (now called Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation). Now that the capitalist/ultra right alumni & dept heads of the Ivy League have found a partner in Trump & Big Data Oligarchs, they can further cover their resource extraction from the Americas, namely Human DNA. (i.e. Regeneron)
At the Peabody Museum at Yale: one reason the Trump administration wants to eliminate exhibitions like this on race is because they show that scientific racism is not new but a step backwards to a discredited past.

1/2 I am afraid Mr. Moynihan frames this too narrowly. The Ivy League has long been an enemy of Amerindigenous/American Indian peoples of the Americas. They and their alumni have historically engaged in "civil engineering" with Kissinger and the School of the Americas

The NIH is moving towards "de-siloing" datasets and laws by moving ancient DNA into the biomedical sphere. It's a grave danger to Indigenous Nations globally, but especially here in the USA
This is so cool. As someone who used TKTL1 in the past as a potential example of the “sapiens edge” it’s fascinating that a handful of people get by perfectly well (and even excel) without it!
While stories of singular DNA changes that drove evolution of human brain/behaviour remain seductive, advances across multiple fields of biology cast doubt on such simplistic narratives of our origins. A new paper from my lab shows how biobanks may speak to this fundamental question.🧪
