• Contextualize current practices of genomic research in Chile with Indigenous Peoples in the international context of human rights and interpretations derived from these studies.
• Equip Indigenous Peoples and communities with knowledge and tools on genomic research in Chile, where they play a central role in the consent and approval of these projects in their communities.
• Facilitate discussions regarding ways to build equitable relationships between researchers and Indigenous Peoples communities.
