TESTIMONIALS
“We were so fortunate that Shane was willing to join our team and facilitate the connections with the Native American communities."
Sarah Anzick, Geneticist
“I learned that all the cultural representatives I met in the tribes of Montana are clever peoples with a deep cultural and historical insight, and I was very well received by them all. A great experience. Shane guided me through this process. Without him, I would have been lost.”
Dr. Eske Willerslev, Director for the Center of GeoGenetics, Denmark
