Tracing your Native American ancestry

[@sarah2005ism]

How much is the cost to have these people help find out what tribe you came from . I took DNA test that says that in 55 percent Native American but I cannot find any census or anything that’s says what tribe .

[@jozibarra]

Nadine Perez if you’re Mexican then of course you’re Native American..... that’s what we are indian and Spaniard

[@firejoe283]

@darkeagle I assume you've never taken a dna test then. There isn't any dna test that will tell you what tribe you're from. It'll just say the region and generalize it. Not very many native samples to get a comparison from. And even if there are plenty of samples, it's not gonna differentiate the tribes. That's like saying if you do a DNA test it'll tell you your last name lol I suggest you take a dna test and see for yourself how it works before commenting and making yourself look ignorant.

Very interesting. Thanks for taking us with you. I hope you find what you are looking for. Peace be with you.

[@extremelyenragedvikingmoha6884]

fact people with high amounts of American Indian blood beards will grow thinner on sides . my beards extremely thick in front thin on sides so thin you can see my skin.

[@leenam.4578]

Or no beards at all.

[@jenniferodonnell2394]

There has been Native American DNA results in my ancestry DNA test. How would you find out what tribe or tribes you would be from. Is there a test you can take? Many secrets were kept by my grandparents. I was only able to get back to around 1830. The family originally migrated from Maine. I would like to know about it and any information about it would be great. I would like to learn my family routes if possible. Thanks in advance

[@noodlyappendage6729]

If you’re ancestors were from Maine then I’d expect that tribe would be from the Maine region.

Mine was Minnie Sittingdown, my grandpa said because she was small (young) and sitting down on the train tracks at the time of the enrollment

[@iyanabellamy3170]

my great grandma's name was minnie lol

[@stilltlrforlife]

Id love to trace my family history, my Mother was half Cherokee.

[@XxBiancalynnxX]

Same my mother took a test when she was in foster care and she is Blackfoot Cherokee and something called apethian lol and I need more info but her parents are no where to be found

[@sixtogallardojr560]

🙄

[@britters220]

id love to trace my ancestry, I have presenting genotypes that align with native american/asian phenotypes, like a1 beta casein intolerance, shovel shaped teeth... and my heritage is all but lost to me.

[@ritaallen7299]

How can I find out about my native american grandmother she was born 1840 or 1850 she was full blooded choctaw she was also in the trail of tears she's also hurried at the Mississippi Alabama Choctaw grave yard how can I find more out and prove iam native american

[@brendawashington302]

I hope he doesn’t have a nosebleed.

[@scarlettking82]

Oh my dad born in Oklahoma, 1926,,,this is so interesting,,

[@javierperalta7648]

Your haplogroups? Haha c'mon. Stop disrespecting actual natives. I also have Native blood but I don't go around claiming that I am native. I didn't grow in a reservation. I cannot speak any Native language. I don't know anything about that. Being native is not just having native blood, it's much more than that. Don't disrespect actual natives by claiming you are something that you are not.

[@Luci_S]

This!

[@milkman3873]

i want to do this, i know i'm peedee but my dads mom was part white. (grandpa is peedee native, grandma is mixed blackfoot probably a quarter native) dad never knew what the white was so i want to figure out! i know my moms side since she's just plain portuguese, but learning more about other parts of my native ancestry would be cool! i'm still totally peedee tho

[@ritaallen7299]

Oh my I have a question

[@busybee7820]

DNA show us we are native American 14 .8%

[@busybee7820]

I'm from PR.

[@wadesmoke9726]

My Mom's Cherokee ancestors came from Table Rock North Carolina and lived in the Attacoa Gorge. They were Canups or Knups and were Moravians that married into the Cherokees and some of my ancestors were members of the Thomas Legion of Cherokees that fought for the Confederacy. Then I was surprised to find out on my Dads side that my Great Great Uncle Issac James Howard was adopted Cherokee by marriage through his wife George Anna Parish and their three Howard children were enrolled in 1902 into the Western Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory. Once you begin doing family research it can become so interesting that it becomes addictive

[@Luci_S]

Does your DNA show your haplogroup? Stories and lores are nice, but unless you or your mom show a native haplogroup (A, B, C, D or X) on an ancestry test, then you and your mom were anything but Native American (genetically). This means your true ancestors (maternal) were Europeans and likely in a H haplogroup. So culturally, your mom is "Native." Just not through genetics.

[@ritaallen7299]

Ian sure she has a role number back in the 1840 or 1850s native Americans were treated bad so my grandmother made her daughter to promise her to never tell no one were native american so her family would be saved and not in danger

[@extremelyenragedvikingmoha6884]

I'm 25 percent Indian about lol way more then this guy

[@lr3053]

That guy is a $5 indian. That's how most of the tribal members became white. Stolen identities

[@orangie9]

Why does it matter he has native blood either way it's not a contest!

[@Luci_S]

Omg! Watching this video is cringe! You can claim tribal descendency if you can prove you had ancestors who were Native American and the actual tribe confirms it! BUT THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOU NATIVE AMERICAN! So stop the old ridiculous family lore of something, something, Cherokee! Cherokees have almost no blood quantum requirements, which is why most Europeans like to claim such tribes or affiliate with them. If your great granpa was "Native American," this doesn't mean he was Native American through genetics unless he can prove he belonged to a native haplogroup! Unless you take an ancestry test (y or x chromosome) which confirms a native haplogroup (A, B, C, D, X) for maternal, or Q/C for paternal, then you're anything but Native American! If you claim Native American ancestry through mom, grandma or great grandma, you better have a maternal haplogroup somewhere in your test that your X chromosome shows either A-D or X haplogroup! If you claim dad or great grandpa then you paternal haplogroup is either Q or C. People lie all the time but DNA doesn't! And no! Haplogroup R1 or anything with haplogroup R is not Native! That's is the most common European haplogroup in existence! So stop it! We dont want anymore pretendians! Edit: Example, I am male. My haplogroups are A2r and R-Z198. My mom is straight Native American and dad was European. Yes, my family was colonized/merged with Europeans and my haplogroups show that already. Obviously because I am a male, I can only pass down my Y chromosome with the R haplogroup to another male son but not to a daughter. And whomever female partner i marry, they will inherit an x from mom: choosing partners are important if you want to keep certain blood lines going. Now, let's say I am a female with the same haplogroups above (Obviously I cant inherit y chromosome but my male sibling confirmed it for me). Whether I have a son or daughter, then I can pass down that Native X chromosome with haplogroup A2r to either. If I have a son, he will not only inherit my Native American ancestry genetically, but also whatever haplogroup husband (their father) has. Females i.e. moms, sisters, grandmothers, aunts ARE the only ones that can pass down that uncombined X chromosome especially if it belongs to a native haplogroup! Males through their y chromosome get to pass down whatever haplogroup they belong to but only to males (son and their sons and so forth: the difference is males have only 2 native haplogroups they can pass down Q or C while native american females can pass down A, B, C, D or that rare X that pops up. If you're European and you're about as white as white bread and your eyes are about as blue as the blue skies, sorry to break it to you but your chances of having or inheriting a native haplogroup is near 0. This is why tribes have blood quantum to keep lines and weed out pretendians too! Heck, take an ancestry test if you want! Just dont be surprised if you have almost 100% European ancestry with an R haplogroup. Again, finding an ancestor on a tribe roll doesn't make you Native American: wouldn't that ancestry test shown you that already?! For f's sake! If you had an ancestors who claimed a tribe and "grew up" with Native Americans, this didn't make them or you native genetically. So by this technicality and law of genetics, you're not "Native American " especially if your autosomal results show 0 indigenous. And again, if you're clearly white/European, don't claim you belong to a native haplogroup either which is the equivalent of a Russian person claiming to be an Aztec which both are clearly culturally and genetically separate groups!

[@yeshuahebrews7999]

Trail of Tears was 1830, the Original Definition of American 1828 AMER'ICAN, noun A native of America; originally applied to the aboriginals, or copper-colored races, found here by the Europeans; but now applied to the descendants of Europeans born in America. The name American must always exalt the pride of patriotism. - Washington From 1830 to 2019 is 189yrs how did Copper Colored Indians aka Aboriginal get pale face in 189yrs? $5 dollar indians

[@javierperalta7648]

@Julian Bandera And the funniest thing is that that random Mexican does not identify as Native. Americans are so obsessed with race and genetics, but that does not matter. How can you identify yourself as a Native if you live in a big city, cannot speak any Native language and know nothing about the land?

[@6June12]

@@javierperalta7648 you do understand most of us don’t know about the language or even what tribes we originated from because it was stolen from us, forcefully. Don’t talk like it’s something we purposely just left behind!

[@javierperalta7648]

@@6June12 I also have Native DNA according to tests. 8%. And I have 4% North African blood. So what? It doesn't mean shit. I am neither of those things and no sane Native American or North African person would ever think I am of their same ethnicity. What makes you think that actual Natives would accept you as their own? lol

[@Leisma92]

I want you to know actual black natives laugh at yall for this silly s*it you spout online

[@steveboy7302]

bill john baker typical native looking man

[@yeshuahebrews7999]

Mr. Baker is 1/32 Cherokee that's 3.1% now how can you say he is the typical Indian when he is not. He is 97.8% European. You pale faces are crazy and don't know the history for real.

[@timwarcloud]

@@yeshuahebrews7999 if he had ancestors on the Dawes rolls, which obviously he does, guess what? He's Native. The tribes themselves get to set the criteria for who can be enrolled, and who is not eligible. Chief John Ross from the Trail of Tears was 1/8 Cherokee and and revered by the full-bloods who elected him. Now, let's talk about the so-called "freedmen" descendants who claim to be Native, but are only the descendant slaves of the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, and Choctaw. Most have ZERO Native DNA. Talk about "culture vultures"...

[@extremelyenragedvikingmoha6884]

I look way more Indian then the guy in this video. he's beards very thick on the sides my beard is thick in the front and thin on the sides. it's a known fact American Indian s beards come in thin or not at all on the sides.

do you selectively fight ... furthering the bias and racist policies of the past.. affirm the Rights of the Black Natives if you are true...... and the test are sound i am living proof....

Your not Native American

[@FireRupee]

There's a lots of White people with Native roots. Exploring one's family history is a good thing.
