Petition Opposing the Genographic ProjectIndigenous peoples worldwide are extremely concerned by the April 13, 2005 announcement of a five-year, $40 million collaboration between National Geographic Society, IBM Corporation, and the Waitt Family Foundation, known as “The Genographic Project.” The project plans to collect 100,000 samples of Indigenous DNA from around the world. Indigenous peoples have consistently voiced their opposition to this type of research because it breaches cultural values, bioethical standards and human rights law. Standing in solidarity, we, the undersigned, hereby call upon National Geographic Society, IBM Corporation, and the Waitt Family Foundation to abandon The Genographic Project and all of its aims. We will alert our communities to refuse any participation in this project. Furthermore, we will continue to call for a boycott of all programs, products and services of the National Geographic Society, IBM Corporation, and Gateway Computers (the source of the Waitt Family’s fortune) until The Genographic Project ceases to exist. On May 20, 2006, all 868 on-line signatures submitted to-date are hereby transmitted to Spencer Wells of the Genographic Project.

Do you have a petition relative to our natural world and protecting Sacred places, our national parks or other areas that are in need of protection and restoration? If you have a petition you would like to have listed here, please send the url address (web site address) of the petition and a short explanation regarding it to Webmaster My Two Beads Worth PLEASE NOTE: In rebuilding My Two Beads Worth, there are many petition links that were listed on its former site. I have tried to list all the ones I had prior to moving to a new server. However, it does take some time to make revisions and changes to this website, as I am the only one who works on this website. I try as hard as I can to be up-to-date with these very important issues and to provide you with a forum to list your petition so you may gather more signatures. However, sometimes health issues and time prevent me from doing as much as I would like to do. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Last updated on November 30, 2008 |
