FROM YOUTUBE RE INDIAN DNA: //// >>> Im sure Ill stir up a hornets nest here, but this is important and needs to be addressed. I hear whites claim Im part Native American all the time. Its not true, and is based on conjecture, rumor, or the fact that people want to identify themselves with such a tragic, yet romanticized story. According to US Census Bureau stats, only 1-2% of people are Native American in the U.S. But 85% of white people I talk to say Im Indian!. Its cool to think youve got the fighting blood of American Indians flowing through your veins. But it simply isnt true. Genetics dont lie. If you dont have the genetic markers for haplogroup Q-1a3a-1 then youre straight European. Look at history. Natives were absolutely DESTROYED by diseases. The early US govt was working on a plan to provide blankets infected with smallpox to hostile Indian tribes in order to kill them off. Early accounts of explorers in the western U.S. curiously noted large Indian villages in northern California that were completely empty...again because of epidemic disease. Numerous outbreaks of smallpox, even in the mid-1800s (read Empire of the Summer Moon) took even more tolls on surviving Native people. Once they were subdued, conditions in early reservations (essentially concentration camps) were horrid, and thousands more died there. Even for those who did survive these conditions, racism towards anyone of non-white ancestry was of epidemic proportions for the most part during that time. Natives were considered sub-human, more closely associated with animals than actual humans (remember the rule of counting blacks as 3/5ths of a person?). If you were white, you didnt marry, and you certainly didnt have babies with anyone who was not white. If you did, you were looked upon as someone who engages in bestiality today. How many Native Americans do you see walking around in the grocery store, in Walmart, or pumping gas in their truck? Almost NEVER. Its a bunch of pasty face western Europeans, middle easterners, Asians and blacks. If as many whites who claim Native ancestry really had it, youd be seeing a lot more Native American folks around. You dont. Because their numbers have been so significantly reduced. Sad but true. Native Americans and some eastern Asians share distinctive skull, bone, and teeth features that others dont. If you dont have these features, then, once again, youre probably western European, through and through. Im not trying to start a fight here, Im just stating facts based on my own research and my own education. Im tired of hearing white people claim to be part Native American when they clearly arent. Ive heard the same from Filipino people. And even some blacks claim to be part Indian. If you think you have Native ancestry, do a Family Finder DNA test. If Haplogroup Q genetic markers dont show up, then you arent Native American, nor do you have any in your ancestry. Sorry. I myself did a DNA test and never found a trace of Native American DNA in my results. It came back straight European. Dont be disappointed....were both in the same boat. >>>>>>> //////////////
