We are thrilled to welcome you to the 2025 Voices of the Diné: Bridging Science, Culture, and Community in Genetic Research Summit. This Summit is focused on increasing understanding and awareness around genetics and genomics, related research, and future possibilities for Native peoples. We will explore and discuss these topics near one of our sacred mountains (Dook'o'oosÅ‚ííd), and we hope you find the Summit, community, and topics vibrant, relevant, and exciting! We hold much gratitude to the Diné community and the support of many for making this event happen.
