The family story was that my four-greats grandmother was an indian. My mother’s side is French Canadian, and there is indian blood in there from the Chippewa tribe of the region. But grandfather’s geneology records were lost in a church fire in Quebec long ago.
So I took a generalized DNA test some years back to ascertain the truth. Native American Indian shows as ‘Asian’ (that’s where they came from!) I have approximately 3% native american… perhaps as much as 5% with statistical error.
Still… that does NOT get me BIA or Tribal recognition.
