Valerie Jarrett (Obama confidant and adviser) was born in Shiraz, Iran, during the Pahlavi dynasty, to American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara T. Bowman. Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz in 1956 as part of a program where American physicians and agricultural experts sought to help in the health and farming efforts of developing countries. When she was five years old, the family moved to London for a year, later moving to Chicago in 1963.
Her parents are both of European and African-American descent. On the television series Finding Your Roots, DNA testing indicated that Jarrett is of 49% European, 46% African, and 5% Native American descent
“DNA testing indicated that Jarrett is of 49% European, 46% African, and 5% Native American descent.”
Native American can also mean Mexican IIRC.
On my DNA test, my NA included not only American Indian but Mexican.
