I am writing a paper for my Human Genetics class. I have decided on the effects of Diabetes Type 2 on those of Native American heritage. I need to find information for this paper. Would anyone have any information? I'm concentrating on genetics. Is there anyone doing research on the subject, peer reviewed journals, any local tribes willing to participate? Thanks!

Diabetes in the Pima Native Americans has been extensively studied. You should have no trouble finding information on that. Here is a link to get started.
