Ep54: Ohkomi Forensics on Indigenous DNA ~ Haley Omeasoo

  • Summary

  • What is Ohkomi Forensics?

    I am honored to speak with Haley Omeasoo, Director of Ohkomi Forensics. A Native-owned forensic nonprofit, that supports families of missing and murdered indigenous people (MMIP).

    Haley Omeasoo is a forensic anthropologist who specializes in assisting the families of missing and murdered Indigenous individuals. She was motivated to pursue this career path due to her personal experiences and the lack of resources available for Indigenous communities. Omeasoo's work involves identifying human remains, providing closure for families, and advocating for justice and awareness surrounding these cases. Her dedication to helping those affected by these tragedies highlights the importance of representation and support for marginalized communities in the field of forensics.
