Wayfinding Through the Human Genome | Podcast | Overheard at National Geographic | Travel & Tourism Video Vloggers And Reviews


Where ancient Polynesians studied the stars to navigate the vast Pacific Ocean, Hawaii’s first Native genomic scientist is analyzing genetic data to rewrite the narratives of Indigenous communities and help change their future.

National Geographic Explorer Keolu Fox grew up hearing stories about his ancestors, Polynesian navigators, and the men who in the late 1970s led the first Hōkūleʻa voyage to Tahiti. As the first Native Hawaiian with a Ph.D. in genomic sciences, Fox tells us how genetic data can help reveal powerful narratives about the history of Indigenous people and their achievements, and empower communities to use data to improve public health and preserve their culture.
