6-foot or taller and wore up to a size 12 shoe. Not sure if this even pertains to a Native American’s makeup but it sure makes me wonder a lot. Conversely, I never received any of those traits. It took after my dad’s side, short and petite.
*Side Note: Did you know if you have more than 25% of Native American blood and at least 1/16th (which is one great-great-grandparent) of the ethnicity you could be granted free tuition at any two to four-year public institution in the U.S.? Mind blown.
I will have a very small percentage of European in me.
Although I don’t think it’ll be much, there’s a small chance. I have no relatives that look any presumably Caucasian, but hey, you never know.
My American ancestry line will be traced from Tennessee and Arkansas areas.
I do have facts on this. My maternal great-grandmother was born in Helena, Arkansas. My grandmother and mother, however, were both born in Chicago, IL. I think the Tennessee areas will come from my dad’s side.
I will definitely have a new sense of pride that I’ve never felt before.
I didn’t take this test to now start waving a flag that I don’t have a real connection to. I did it to take a step toward finding my true identity. All of my answers won’t be answered with just this one test, it has to be followed up by more research and learning about my ancestors and family.
However, I do believe I will finally find what I’ve been looking for. A true and authentic sense of self.
