Advances in genomics are expected to have profound impacts on contemporary identities, including Indigeneity. A focus on social processes since the 1970s has left scholarship on Indigenous identity ill-equipped to grapple with the consequences of the genomic era. Drawing on multidisciplinary expertise, Indigenous and non-Indigenous investigators intend to examine biological and social influences on Indigeneity in narratives of self-presentation and in two fields currently being transformed by genomics: ancestry testing and repatriation. The project is expected to develop and test a biosocial model of Indigeneity to enhance existing knowledge of Indigenous identification as a critical factor in monitoring and improving the health and wellbeing of Indigenous people.

基因组学的进步预计将对当代身份，包括印第安人身份产生深远影响。自20世纪70年代以来，对社会进程的关注使土著身份的学术研究无法应对基因组时代的后果。利用多学科的专业知识，土著和非土著调查人员打算研究生物和社会对印第安人的影响，在自我介绍的叙述和两个领域目前正在改变基因组学：祖先测试和遣返。预计该项目将开发和测试一个土著人的生物社会模型，以加强现有的土著身份识别知识，作为监测和改善土著人民健康和福祉的一个关键因素。
