I chose this article because i found it interesting with how the Havasupai tribe was betrayed by the Arizona State University. The thing that grabbed me was the involvement of DNA being misused to betray the Havasupai Indians and what the Havasupai Indians did to get what was rightfully theirs back (their DNA). My opinion on this is that I think that people should not be lied to and should be told the truth. In this case, the Havasupai Indians were used because their DNA was taken to supposedly "help their tribe" with their diabetes problem but instead were used for other testing like where they came from. I believe this is under power because the Arizona State University took advantage over the Indians and misused their DNA without informing them at all.
My plan for this project would be to put two different sides of both people involved. I am thinking of drawing one side with the Havasupai Indians angry because of the betrayal from the Arizona State University and the other side i am thinking of drawing the Arizona State University taking advantage over the tribe and using their DNA for other things besides diabetes testing.
