DNA Disappointment
I took a DNA test and I am disappointed with what I found out I wanted to know if I had Native Blood in me or not and The Test I took on my heritage came back with no Native American Blood and I was like what no native blood that's crazy cause My Aunt told me for years after doing research on our Family Heritage and Ancestry Indian blood is in our Family bit it didn't show on my Dna Test Now I am feeling confused lost and I had a connection now that's all gone now.Having that DNA test ruined the connection I once had now that's broken and I don't know who or what I am anymore. I guess blood isn't everything but still it would of been nice to have a blood connection instead of a spiritual connection oh well it is what is.

A few of my friends are amateur genealogists and they encouraged me to start building a family tree as a hobby and confirming through dna testing so I recently did a 23 and Me dna test earlier this month (they're having holiday sales!) and they labeled part of my results under their "East Asian & Native American" combined category. I also did an Ancestry last month because it was on sale as well and they labeled part of my results under the "Native American - North, Central, South" category. I think they're both good dna tests, but Ancestry's results were more accurate because they have a larger sample population than 23 and me plus if you opt-in they have dna matching with relatives. I think they can be helpful if you're using them for things like building family trees as a hobby.Last edited by Lone Dove; 11-15-2018, 06:51 PM.

When I was a kid, I was talking to my mom about this family (in our tribe) & how it seemed like everyone in this family was mean. I was giving her examples of how they acted/what they had done.
She told me, "It's in their blood." She said that it's one of our old beliefs that personalities & character traits, just like physical traits like hair & eye color, that that is passed down through the blood. So then we talked about this other family where all the girls are really sweet & lovely. It was just their nature.
I think everybody can still choose how they want to behave & act/react in any situation, but I think what's in someone's blood plays a part too.

This doesn't mean that the BST isn't well documented and accepted. However, there are definitely some issues within and alternative anthropological theories to the BST.
Have you heard of the theory regarding migrations from the Oceania to South America?

My entire point with these blind tests is they are not useful to prove anything other than you posses hapalo group markers that may indicate you belong to one of 5 groups that has been identified as Native American but not what member of the 566 tribes in the United States! They do not prove that you are the descendant

Beware of too literally interpreting the percentages of given halotypes.
During meiotic prophase I, crossover between homologous chromosomes occurs. One sister chromatid may get a section of DNA from the homolog; the other not. When meiosis II occurs, one gamete will get the DNA with the exchanged segment, one gamete will get the DNA with the original segment. On average you get 50% of each parent's DNA sequences. However you may only get 10% of the "native" halotype sequences that your parent had.
I thought the waterbug brought up mud and the buzzard carved it into the hills and valleys at the center of the earth for you Cherokee guys.

There was this one DNA test that claims it can trace down the specific Native American culture(s) you descend from somehow. I used to feel thrilled and accepted the idea that this DNA test could pinpoint your cultural ancestry, but now I'm skeptical.
So the usual ancestry DNA test, such as AncestryDNA and 23andme are only useful for determining racial ancestry as there are some biological aspects involved in race; DNA is a biological aspect. Not to mention race is a largely broader classification for humans than ethnicity/culture.

So what do you think of the theory? Do you find it unlikely and consider another theory on how humans appeared in the Americas?

Originally posted by Cherokee Veteran View PostI am officially 5/32 Cherokee. I have my Great Uncles DNA and officially he is 5/8 Cherokee. I have noticed that ancestry picks up Asian traces with Native American blood. This makes sense since we crossed Bering Strait a long time ago.
It makes sense that Mexicans have Indian genes, since the Spainards integrated with the local tribes.
As for the accuracy of ancestry I think it is accurate. As I mentioned earlier I am 5/32 Cherokee blood which is 15.62%. Ancestry shows me at 13%, with a range of 11%-15%. Then there is a Asia South match of less than 1% and a range of 0%-2%. Which probably residual from the ancient days. This matches my calculated 5/32.
My Great Uncle is 5/8 Cherokee or 62.5%. Ancestry shows 52%, with a range of 49%-55%. Then he has Asia Central 4%, with a range of 0%-9%. There is also Asia East 2%, range of 0%-4%. This matches his 5/8.
I'd say ancestry is accurate.

by ghostwomanI've just joined this forum after googling for info on fan handles. I'm from the UK and we don't have the suppliers of all the stuff for making native crafts here.
I'm white by the way, so I hope I'm not doing anything wrong by making native style crafts, I'd sooner die than cause...-

Okay so thus far chapter 3 is one of my strongest, though it is an action chapter, and I am trying to avoid too many of those because I don't want to portray the Anowarkowans as violent people, but more, it is hard to say, they are enlightenment era almost technologically, but different then Europeans,...

Just wondering what you're planning on doing?
I saw a couple of news stories regarding the customs that some tribes have or stories that have been handed down. I've never heard of any stories in my tribe.

by mangadeziThe sound of tom-toms are played on the big bass drums as the marching band stands at the ready position, their heads going back and forth as if to simulate the tomahawk chop. The pace picks up, the drums played faster and faster, reaching a frenzied crescendo as the band lets out a whoop and assorted...
