Kayās
Community DNA.
Find your ancestors and help bring the missing home.
“Kayās" means “it's been a long time” in Nēhiyawēwin.
Kayās is a DNA workshop experience.
Over four days, participants trace family trees, use DNA testing to find lost connections, and contribute their results to help identify the missing— turning knowledge into action.
This is about truth. It’s about healing. And it’s about finding our way back to each other.

“We’ve sewn the ribbon skirts, marched in the walks, and had enough vigils. It’s time to actually bring them home.” — Mary Dustow
