I agree with you both on all counts. I have native American ancestry,. My grandfather was born just outside of the Navajo reservation at a time when being native American made life very difficult, and he and his parents had dealt with terrible racism and discrimination. I won't allow the system to analyze my blood, I don't trust any of them. I know in my heart who and what I am and I am very proud of my ancestry. I relate to my native American roots and I do my best to honor my ancestors. It doesn't matter to me if a piece of colonial paper says. I don't think that they should be allowed to make or affect tribal policies. Bless you both and bless us all

@og-greenmachine8623 I appreciate your sentiment. It was explained to me that Indians are from India, I guess I could have said indigenous to the US, but I thought everyone would understand my statement. My mother had the DNA analysis done, and yes, I know that they are not always accurate, but there's no doubt that she is Diné. And my nickname was chi'cant ashì meaning lizard boy. I don't remember the exact spelling, but phonetically, it sounded like chic-awnt ah-shee... I am proud of my family history . Aside from my indigenous American ancestors, I am mixed, the most of any one ancestry that I am is Diné. I relate to my ancestral culture, I respect it, and I do my best to make them proud, because I know that they are with me when I need them to help guide me and protect me. My great grandfather came to me in a dream and told me that I have many gifts, and some other things that I won't get into because it's personal. But anyway, I am not Asian, but if I was, I'd be proud either way. My girlfriend is Asian and she is a very sweet, beautiful, intelligent, wise, healthy, wealthy, kindhearted woman. I appreciate all ethnicities and cultures. I am not trying to argue with anyone. It's all good. I wish you well, my friend. Namaste

Fun Fact: All the DNA that is tested to Black Americans during an "ancestry DNA test" comes from a new york 'Algonquian indian' burial ground. Their secret burial grounds that was reclassified to n*gro/slave burial ground in the 1700s , than recently renamed to an African burial ground.. Its location sits where the new york state building currently is in Manhattan. the graves were desecrated, dug up in 1991, used for the human genome project between 1991-2003 and submitted as sub Saharan DNA and listed as such, which is the single source of DNA most black Americans being told that they descend from sub-Saharan tribes match with . After the study, they shipped the bones and buried them in "memorials" across different parts of Africa. Washington post did a story on it, see in the replies .

GEDMatch doesnt update their calculations. Theyve been the same for over a decade. You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how DNA tests work. There is no specific “Native American” or “African” or “European” gene that if you have it you belong to that group. DNA tests use reference populations & calculate their “ethnicity estimate” based on which reference populations your DNA matches most. If you have little to no DNA matching the Native reference populations, you just arent Native. even if it were accurate, the difference between 1% & 2% is negligible & not enough to lay claim to Native ancestry. you’re clinging to a dream. what exactly does this 1% or 2% have to do with your life today? has your family lived as Natives for the 6 or 7 generations, passing along Native traditions? at 1% or 2%, probably not. so what exactly is it youre clinging to? 1% and 2% are called “trace” ancestry & are just as likely to be statistical noise. it has been reduced or removed as the DNA tests have gotten more accurate. let it go.

When I took the DNA test, mine came back 2/3 indigenous (Native American). I my maternal ancestry is consistent with that of Native American lineage (A2 haplogroup) leading up to tribes in Mexico and the Southwest (U.S.A.) to federally recognized tribes. While I am reconnecting with my ethnic and cultural identity, I must say that it was a difficult life of understanding I had to go through just to find answers about my family. My cousins are confirmed relatives from the Navajo, Pima, and Pueblo tribes (still narrowing down): All 2nd and 3rd cousins! This means I have either a close ancestor with Navajo or Pima tribes that I am narrowing down. I just want affirmation for my ancestors, respect the traditions, and honor/remember them even though I wouldn't be accepted on political classification. I will, however, continue to identify as Native American because I refuse to contribute to demographic genocide! I am not Hispanic/Latino! It's important to mention that just because people find their European ancestor in the Dawes roll, this doesn't mean they are also Native American: The term $5 Indian exists for a reason (settlers/colonizers bribing officials to be put on that list for $5). I will continue to fight with and for my native relatives and support them! LET'S GO!!!

Here's my thing things can't go both ways. (They are very selective on purpose you can pick and choose who is or isn't it's either you're related or not) The only way to be American Indian or indigenous American is by being "black" brown "negro" Moreno (these terms are all misnomers meant to erase and reclassify and legally take away rights) (a person who doesn't know who they are doesn't have rights) . How do people think the real indians look like? I can tell you that the true indians have been misclassified. So called "black - African Americans" "Hispanic" "Latino" "Afro Latino" are indigenous to America obviously each case is different (not everyone who is "black"/ brown is indigenous to America but most are) I'm talking about the brown people not recessive or European. These lands used to be connected. Division is a disease. Language doesn't make you another group people speak the conquerors language. A person can speak English but that doesn't make you English or European right? A person can speak Spanish but that doesn't make you Spanish right? It really baffles me people need to learn the difference between. Nationality, ethnicity, phenotype, and culture. I understand that most schools don't teach that but it's all by design. They know if we all come together we are powerful we are great. The tribes are getting lighter and lighter and the blood is diluting is because they are kick the true people out. They want you to think that that blood is going extinct but it's not. You're looking at them everyday they just have been reclassified. They do this because they want what is yours. They know that everything here belongs to you ancestrally they would be nothing within contact. They owe a lot not because of bondage because you are the rightfully landowners. And above all else is the past identify as indian was a death sentence basically that's why people didn't really talk about it. If it was it way behind closed doors. It was outlawed. There's a lot of agendas and narratives learn discernment. None of their his-story adds up.

This is true. Those phenotypical features weren’t even marked or of any significance initially -until after the Racial Integrity Act that the colonizers created to re-define what a NA is "supposed” to look like.

My Native New England friends call it "the dipstick test." It is closely related to many racist approaches that mainly serve the thieves and colonizers.

Some ancestral identity actually was passed on in cases where chattel slavery was not present or less prevalent. The Gullah still retain words from their west African origins in their songs. The fragmentation of the family through domestic trade in combination with the slave codes and breeding farms made it difficult to trace a given slave’s lineage. We see how identity and loss of lineage happens in adopted children. That’s just one generation. Multiply that effect by 5 generations and you can begin to imagine the loss.

Everyone knows that Whites, and indians were mixing with us as well as other races. We are the most hated race in the world, so their people shouldn't have mixed with us. Plus Indians had Black slaves too. All races need to learn their history. For me I'm proud to be part native.

DNA is a peculiar case the host may still test to see what is on his father's or a different DNA test. Ancestry DNA only does autosomal (both parents/4 grandparents and back) it does not cover haplogroups, the specific Paternal line and the specific Maternal line like the 23andme and Family DNA does. Another confusing factor, not all DNA corp share the same sample rate nor share each other's sample data.

Then there's the economic/political component hold of what gets released and what gets held back from the public.

The color of one's skin does not determine one's ethnicity. If that were true, then the French would never have fought the British. They have the same or similar skin color, but they come from different ethnicities and cultures.

Reasons why Indigenous DNA doesn't show and/or Inaccurate: 1. You don't have it. 2. Too far back (Not Inherited). 3. U.S. Tribes are not in the reference population for 23andMe or Ancestry. 3.1. Low population reference. 4. Phase-outed due to early intermingling with non-native/Indigenous populations. 4.1. 90% + population mortality due to disease (small-pox + genocide = small % of survivors). 5.

Fullblood N.A. will have documents on both sides of their family proving they are fullblood Indian & mix-bloods could also have documents on both sides of their family, since mix-bloods do marry mix-bloods but their degree of Indian blood will B less than 4/4. Indians that are half Indian will have only one side of their family with documents proving they have Native ancestry. Their are no $5 Indian Bcuz they would have had to prove with names & roll number that they have Indian ancestry & the families would tell them if they are related to them or not.

DNA is the carrier of genetic information , according to Oxford languages. If we all had the same DNA , we would all look the same. Because your Native ancestor’s DNA doesn’t show on your DNA results doesn’t mean you don’t have Native American in your family. It just means you don’t have Native American genes. Men carry different parts of their genes than their sisters , a lot of times they take from their mother and women take from their father’s side. I am married to an Acadian / French Cajun man and we have an olive complexion daughter, a red Native complexion daughter similar to the color of the Navajo and Choctaw, which I’m a tribal citizen, and a white complexion daughter. This just means they take from different DNA from each of our genetic makeup. They are still citizens of our Tribe. They still have a Native mom and White dad. They can identify anyway they choose.
