I Live in Northwest Alabama and my Great Great Grandmother was a mid wife. They lived across the road from two reservation camps. When it came time for the birth of their babies, the Indian children would come across the road and get my GGGrandma 11:55 Martina Gray a she would be there until all babies wrte born. My Great Grandma said she got to go with her sometimes. She liked to play with the kids . The older women would cook for all and watch the kids while grandma Was bringing t j e babies into the we world. I have pictures of her with some of the quilts they gave her and cards the kids made her. Once they gave her a black kettle pot they Cooked in because my great grandma Mattie was fascinated with how they were used to cook in them in the ground . When she passed away at the age of 97 she made sure I got that pot. I miss all her stories she would tell me of those days.

[@lorenrobertson8039]

Doing DNA can bring some shocks. I was adopted. According to Heritage my daughter searched for my birth mom and found her and she was connected to a family who now lives in CA with "baby" and my birth year listed.. My father (or so we thought) had already passed at that time, as have my 3 half brothers. My son did a DNA test a couple years ago and some mysterious names came up. But nothing from the family we thought. We started researching those names (old yearbooks, death records, etc) and speaking to my half sister on my moms side. W found out who my dad was and that there were some actual close contacts between my mom's family and my dads family. My half brother on my moms side was actually the husband of one of my cousins on my dads side, and yet they NEVER knew they had a connection. My birth sister actually remembers my dad coming to their house. I also found out that my dads 5th generation back mother is full blooded Cherokee and was married to a Cherokee Chief. My son does have 2.4% american Indian. I am currently in Kenya so I can't do one from here, I've checked. As soon as I get back into the states next year I will take a test, probably with a company that has more markers than what my son's did. It has been an exciting adventure finding out my birth dads family. I still have 3 living brothers out of 8 on my dads side and 1 living sister and me, out of 10 on my mothers side. I am so excited to explore more about the Cherokee Nation when I return. My birth dads family was from SW Missouri, so that makes sense as well but migrated to California before he was married and had kids.

[@Vicki_and_JimC.]

Love your story.

[@pamnewton2160]

My husband had specific stories that he was Native American, did the DNA years ago, showed none. Wondering if the tests are better now. Our son-in-law is 1/2 Chippewa & 1/2 French on both sides. He grew up on a reservation in North Dakota. I really would love him to do a DNA test because he KNOWS his ancestry.

[@michaeltaylor8501]

I recommend trying CRI Genetics' Advanced Ancestry Analysis as there's a chance that his Amerindian ancestors are more distant than a typical Autosomal DNA test can uncover. Also, there's a chance that he has Amerindian ancestors but didn't inherit any of the relevant ethnic markers in his DNA. A DNA test result can tell you which ancestral ethnic markers that you inherited, which are proof of ancestry. DNA test results don't prove lack of ancestry, they only provide proof of a portion of one's ancestry.

I did my DNA about 10 years ago and it is has changed many times as more family do DNA. Keep checking and you may get the results you were looking for.😊

To be a registered Cherokee you must’ve 1/4 by blood. My grandmother was full blooded Cherokee, so I’m 1/4. My great great grandfather was Chief Sinclair. I’m very proud of my heritage!

[@sherrytackett571]

My family always kept a family lineage , at our local library, there is a family tree document on file. I am a descendant of Scottish, Irish, and ancestry of Pocahontas, which was not really her name by the way. And the misconception that she was a traitor to the Native American people, she was actually kidnapped bye the Europeans and horrible things were done to her. I call it the first early version of trafficking. Her story could not be further from the truth than what is told. It’s a shame how history gets twisted to save the dignity of royals, elites. Governments etc. I don’t know how many times I have been told my ancestor was a traitor to the Native American people, all because the true story, or history was hidden, or changed. I hope someday our true history will be revealed. Love y’all.

My husband and I did our DNA a few years ago. I have always been told there is native Indian in my ancestry. When we sat down with Mom and told her we had done our DNA, she repeated about the Native American. We laughed and told her I have no Native American in my DNA. I have found cousins on both sides and do communicate with two, one from my Dad’s side and one on my Mother’s side.

[@marilynstorey8813]

@@sherrytackett571 I agree with you on how history becomes distorted. We had been told in history books that the Karankawas were cannibals. Absolutely no proof of that! We found a place where they lived and did surface collecting. We found their campfires and know what they ate. Absolutely no human bones! Now the Apache Indians were absolutely brutal! Five women in a field and brutally murdered with tomahawks and huge points that were left in the women's bodies. These women were probably Karankawas.

One way to get light, cheap, multi-purpose furniture that fits perfectly inside a camper-bus is to make it yourself. There is a book called "Nomadic Furniture" by Victor Papanek and James Hennessey which has many good ideas you can adapt and get inspiration from. This book is from the 70s and no longer printed, but your local library probably has a copy.

[@laobeau]

Cassie, don't give up hope! Sorry, long post. I have a strong Scandinavian heritage with family names of Olson, Rasmussen, Danielson, Hanson, Peterson and Krueger (had to throw one German in the mix). Ancestry showed I am 82% Scandinavian, 8% German and then a varying mix. I thought all of my relatives came over in the last half of the 1800's, but discovered that my 'Great Grandmother had relatives that came over from the Netherlands due to religious persecution on a ship called the "Spotted Cow" in the early 1600's. Going back from there I discovered my 10th Great Grandfather married the granddaughter of an Indian Chief from the Montauk Tribe of Long Island. The Montauk Tribe of Indians was disenfranchised from its ancestral lands by the decision of a judge in 1910 and gradually spread across New England. One band relocated to Brothertown (Eeyamquittoowauconnuck), a little community on the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago, just south of where I live in Green Bay, WI. I never dreamed I would have any Native American heritage. My aunt is a Menominee Indian, adopted as a baby by my Grandparents. She's 4 years younger than me so we grew up together. My other grandparents had 2 permanent Menominee Indian boys that they raised from the ages of 2 and 6 that I also grew up with. Both sets of grandparents fostered many children and among them Native American children. My parents and my aunt also fostered children. It also was a part of my heritage growing up. I had a lot of built in playmates, but it was hard to see them go. Some became lifelong friends and my grandparents always worked at reunifying or at least keeping the family bonds going. I realize this information might not be totally accurate, but it sure has been fun researching. So Cassie, try digging into your history and you might find those Native American ancestors!!! ;-)

[@candyw9297]

My father is the first generation of his family born in the US. His father was from Poland. My Mother always told us she is Heinz 57 variety , a little of everything. When I lived in ND there were several reservations around us. I was a foster parent at that time. I had my 3 sons, 2 foster children and was contacted asking if I would take in 3 Native American children. I dont know why, maybe full houses but none of the other foster families would take them. I had a full house but also had the space and could not turn children who needed a place to go away. The way I looked at it was the more the merrier. It was always fun to have lots of children in the house. My husband is also Native American

[@nancyhowell7735]

My husband has been told that his great grandmother on his father’s side was part Cherokee, part runaway slave and part white. The family lived in western North Carolina, so this would not be surprising. Unfortunately, husband’s grandmother died at the age of 32 from complications of childbirth and the family fragmented. When we did DNA testing 15-20 years ago when these home tests first came out, my husband showed no Native American blood. I wonder if the current tests are more accurate and if it’s worth repeating? One interesting side to this is about my father-in-law. If you have ever been to a Texas Roadhouse and seen the large mural with the face of an older Native American man, it’s a dead ringer for my father-in-law to the point that we avoid looking at it because it’s so unnerving. He passed in 1992, but we still can’t look at that mural without getting goosebumps.

Recently found your channel. I have always, since I can remember felt very close to nature and animals. My earliest memory is sitting in the grass and a humming bird coming up and buzzing around me. I couldn’t speak or walk yet. I remember being afraid at first because I thought it was a bee. Then amazed. Last year, or maybe it was the year before, I had a humming bird meet me in the garden every morning through spring to play in the spray as I watered my plants. It was delightful. Found out at 40 yrs old, over 20 yrs ago, now, that I have substantial Native American ancestry. I felt like that explained a lot for me. My dad’s mom was born and raised on a reservation (Iroquois, Mohawk, Turtle Clan). I don’t know if she was full native, but I get that impression from the photos I’ve seen. There are native names for those words I have discovered. They are long and I never remember them, though. His father was an Englishman. They were all very proud of that. My cousin gave me an ancestry of that line he had done. Unfortunately, I only met them once, when I first found out and they live very far from me and I didn’t stay in touch after I deleted my Facebook page. My dad’s sister had, I think, 11 kids. They are all registered with the tribe. I cannot because clan membership is passed on through the mother, not the father. Some of my cousins told me they were always advised not to divulge their native heritage because of fear of negative reactions. My mom is French and Scotch Irish. Her Dad was first generation from Ireland. I was raised by first generation Sicilian immigrants. My grandpa on my mom’s side got citizenship after fighting in the world wars then brought his family over. They had some stories about the journey, hardships, hard work, prejudice. My dad’s family were Italian from several generations back and mostly farmers. I considered doing a test. It’s tempting, but I don’t feel comfortable letting a company have my DNA. Some may be better than others, but I have heard stories of some tests giving wrong results, too. So, Cassie, you may still have native ancestry. ☺😉 Some things we may never really know until we are face to face with God. I have a lot of unanswered questions, but many of them likely won’t matter at that time.

Cassie it will be interesting to see your Mom's DNA results- also if your Mom has brothers you can see your paternal DNA.

[@Elke_KB]

I would suggest doing the Ancestry DNA test (they have a much larger database). Remember you randomly get 50% of your parents DNA. Testing parents/aunts/uncles would be beneficial. They would be more likely to show Indigenous ancestry because they are a generation closer to the source, so to speak. However, the best way is to build your tree and compare your DNA matches. That will give you a better understanding of where your ancestors came from. Ancestry results can be uploaded to MyHeritage, but MyHeritage cannot be uploaded to Ancestry (last time I checked anyway).

[@MrsMac3099]

As a rule, always test the oldest generation first. Myheritage has been know as the least accurate, it has been the most popular in Europe. They are trying to build their database. For years you could transfer a copy of your DNA there for free. I have 5 DNA kits on all major sites. Ancestry, GEDmatch, FTDNA, myheritage, and 23andme. I will say Ancestry has been the best for cousins matches, and building my family tree. Their data base has always been bigger then the others. They also have genetic communities. You don't get them for all of the ethnicities you are. But the ones I have so far, are spot on. We have 2 Irish lines we knew nothing about. But now with my mom and her 2 sisters DNA we do.

I wonder what the average genetics is for the whole Cherokee nation. I think the Cherokee took in other non-natives into their tribe, which is super interesting. There are several states with Cherokee nation lands; I'd like to know more about it. There is a dice roll effect in genetics too, so parental stories are not necessarily fictitious, just that Cassie's makeup came out with the older genetic lines showing. We are all so heinz anyway, no need to get overwhelmed by it.

[@KatrinaLPate]

That was the same explanation my grandmother gave me when I asked why she did not register. She told me that if she had, with as much Indian blood as she has, she would not have been allowed to leave the reservation until she was at least 21-25, which would mean she would not have been able to go to the college of her choice.

[@gloriakeener3883]

I looked up why all mine and my siblings results are a little different. It explains that all dna is not inherited evenly just like we have different color eyes, hair and have other differences. It said after several generations, some small dna may not show up anymore, so Cassie's family may have had native American ancestry.

[@philipbutler6608]

There is some evidence that supports evidence that Scottish, English and African indentured servants, mixed race people and slaves escaped over the Appalachian Mountains and lived and married Cherokee and other tribes and were subsequently moved along with the Cherokee as the goal was to clear all the land of claimants. Your parents and grandparents should take the test because they carry genetic information you don’t have. Cassie’s mother could have Native American genes that Cassie doesn’t. I started DNA testing in 2010. I was trying to find out my paternal grandfathers origins. Turns out he had the wrong last name. Which is disturbing because you find relative you don know you had. Most people can trace some ancestry back to early colonial days. I am related to Benedict Arnold a double agent and to Richard Henry Lee who made the Motion to Declare independence and a signer of the DeclarationI

[@MollysMom19]

Like Cassie, I was told there was native blood in my family but did not find any evidence of it in my DNA. I have traced my family tree pretty far back and I have been able to figure did out why my relatives/ancestors might have said this. My ancestor (the one I inherited my last name from) was the son of a fur trader living in British North America. He was kidnapped as a child in a raid conducted by American soldiers and their Indian allies. They killed his baby sister and left his mother and two other sisters in the woods with no food or shelter. The Americans gave the boy to the Indian allies as a slave. This was common practice for the Americans at the time. He grew up in the tribe and learned their language. Eventually the tribe met with hard times (i.e., were betrayed by the American gov't and not given land promised them). They told my ancestor he should leave and find his white family as he had no future with the tribe. He did find his white family. Several times, his Indian "friends" paddled canoes up the St Lawrence River to visit him and they would speak together in their native language. I can see that this would have made an impact on his children who would talk about it to their children, etc. I also found male relatives who lived common-law with native women, and in my time, one of my first cousins married a native man. They had a son who reached out to me via Ancestry DNA. He wanted to know more about his mother's side of the family. I checked my tree and found his mother (my first cousin) was one-quarter native and his grandmother (my aunt by marriage) was one-half. This was news to him -- he had assumed his mother and her family were white. He is actually 62.5% native, by my calculations. Also, I grew up with my grandmother's stories about the native people she interacted with, and have a few stories of my own. So lots of associations with native people. What does this mean for Cassie? Well, going by my family, Cassie may have relatives with native blood, but who are not her direct ancestors. So don't assume because of the DNA results that that Cassie does not have relatives who have native blood.

[@mspeedie52]

I have done my DNA with Ancestry and confirmed that my ancestry and ethnicity match. My ancestors came from Scotland, England, Ireland, and part of France. My main ancestry is from Scotland. Cassie, get both of your parents to do their DNA. It will be interesting to find out their ethnicity.

[@wendywalsh7887]

the BEST way to actually rule out (or in) native heitage is to have more people in Cassies family take the DNA test . You get 1/2 your DNA from mother and 1/2 from father and there is a chance she didnt get the parts from either side family. THAT doesnt mean its not there just not in her DNA . I did ancestry dna and have been building my tree with documented relatives and there are many nationalities that i personally dont have in my test but ARE actually related including a verified direct link to the first nations tribe near Port Royal in Canada in the 1500"s . so there is a chance her family is not wrong .

My maternal grandfather was Blackfoot Northern Europe. However, he was adopted out so he was then considered Northern European. If you look at my mom you cannot dispute she’s Indian but when my oldest daughter took this test, it showed Northern European, English, and Scottish.

I'd be tempted to run another brand of DNA testing...just in case they test differently. I had been interested in getting my dad and do it for years since they came out with the self testing. But he and I never got to do it. He's passed now, so all but my two cousins are gone from our immediate family that was part Native American. My Grannie was actually born in Indian Territory (OK) back around 1900. She had no birth certificate, so we never knew her true age or birthdate! Her mother remarried after the death of my great grandfather and so my Grannie had 3 half siblings. One of the brothers was really into genealogy and worked hard on tracing our backgrounds for both their own and her ancestry. But he never was able to get all the information he needed. There just wasn't much information that had been recorded back then. The family was basically share croppers and poor homesteaders in the bootheel area of MO and surrounding area. But you can look at my daddy and his daddy (me included), the native traits we carry. I'm too old and have nobody to pass things or information down to...so it would be a waste of time and money we don't have to do DNA testing. I already know I'm mostly Scottish, English, and Native American...but no idea what tribe we descended from. I think it's great and fun that you all got to do that. Sry Cassie that this test showed no native DNA, but try another one. You never know. You all can afford to do it and you have a child that might be interested one day. BTW Brandon Eddy said to tell you "Go Cowboys!" hahaha~!

Brandon must like Dallas Cowboys, us too! 🤣

Excellent video. I would not argue with Cassie you can see the teacher in her. Great stuff thanks. Chris from England

[@user-vt1qt7ok7h]

Parents and siblings can come up with different results. Not all kids get the same traits or DNA as their siblings. Amazing stuff!

[@libbyglover6688]

So many of us think we have Indian blood because our parents feel us that . But few of us really have it, myself included.

[@michelehumann811]

[@nancysimpson4246]

Good morning Cassie and Gary and family. I always enjoy your videos. Be safe on your trip.😊

I did the tests years ago and out of 6 siblings three of us, including me, have Native American heritage (though a small percentage). My family always said we were directly related to General Sam Houston but genetic testing indicated no direct family link. We were always told we had Cherokee heritage but that has never been confirmed so this confirms that old family legends aren’t always true. The Cherokees were important because that had a genuine developed language so were perceived as more developed culturally than other tribes.

[@livinglife8333]

There isn’t a test for Native American, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have Native American in her tree, just means she didn’t inherit any of it.

[@tammyrunyan6642]

Love all of u family and God Bless

[@BackHomeAgain]

DNA is a funny thing. Each parent passes down a random part of their DNA to each generation. So Cassie, it is possible that you have Native ancestry, but you just happened to take more after the European side of your family... crazy thing is, your siblings or parents could show up Native just because they happend to inherit that particular strand of your Ancestors' DNA. ❤

[@jeanburgin160]

This was fun ... my great great grandmother was (supposedly) full blooded Cherokee Indian. My DNA showed no native American blood in my DNA ... lol, I have most respect for our Native American Indians.

[@lizregan1949]

Hi Walkers, good to see you. I did that, and I am mostly European English.

[@chrisjohanson9284]

Prayers for your travels 🙏❤️🙏👍

[@Orca2019]

Hello Walker Farm Fam. DNA kits can sure open eyes. I did mine many years ago. As well we did my husbands. Enjoy your time with Mazzy and Gary Enjoy your time with Little Bear and Ransom🤗🤗💞💞💙💙

[@sharonyoung8251]

Banks can’t / don’t normally lend money to people that live on a reservation because they can’t repossess if the lendor defaults. Therefore, most tribes have some sort of home building program.

[@lisalewis6728]

My father was part Native American and my mom was not. I had asked my mom one time if she had any Native American in her and she said a little bit for about 9 months LOL.

[@valfrasier39]

We still love you Cassie!

[@Yvonneb_]

I've always wanted to do that but I've never had the funds. Xx Prayers for you both xx

[@brianmartin2071]

Cassie,Hello fellow Scottish person 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Maybe I should get my heritage done ,I’m saying I’m Scottish even though I was born and lived here all my life I’m maybe part French or Something 😂 I’ve done my family tree but not too far back but got stuck but there was French people on my fathers side. It’s always an interesting subject doing the family tree. Great video guys 👍
