The misuse of Havasupai blood samples by ASU resulted in a betrayal of trust, legal actions, settlements, and highlighted the need for ethical research practices with indigenous groups.

  • In Keolu Fox's video discussing the misuse of blood samples from the Havasupai people in 1989 by Arizona State University (ASU), a significant consequence was the betrayal of trust and violation of informed consent.
  • The Havasupai people had provided blood samples for diabetes research, but ASU used them for other studies without the proper consent of the Havasupai.
  • This led to legal actions and settlements, but more importantly, it highlighted the ethical considerations that must be made in research, particularly with indigenous populations who have historically been exploited.
