Don't believe everything the testing company tells you!. There are just some things a DNA test CANNOT tell you and one of them is percentages of a particular ethnic group!. They can tell you that you have a certain percentage of markers in common with the Native American samples they have in their database, but thats about it!. They CANNOT narrow it down to tribe!.

Here's an example I use to show just how WRONG DNA testing can steer you!.
Oprah Winfrey had her DNA tested and the results came back that she descends from the Zulu tribe of Africa!. The known facts dispute this claim 100%!. First fact: She is indeed the descendant of slaves!. Second fact: No Zulu tribes people were ever taken as slaves, the slave traders didn't go into the interior of Africa!. So you can see she couldn't be descended from the Zulu Tribe!.!.!.!.

Genealogical research is the only way to positively prove you have Native ancestry!. No Federally Recognized Tribe or Nation accepts DNA testing as proof of Native ancestry without the genealogical proof too!. Every Federally Recognized Tribe or Nation requires anyone seeking membership be able to prove lineage back to someone on that particular tribe or nations base roll!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
