I irritate the wife (part Apache) by telling her that I can trace my ancestors back to 1720’s, that makes me as “Native” as anyone.

I got you beat. This is my furthest back "Immigrant Ancestor"

I can certainly call myself Native...
But I am also 1/64 Cherokee

I’m 1/8th (Lenape?), 1/4 French (>100 years here), and the rest mixed who migrated over 300 years ago. Does that make me Native American, native American, or something else.

Some of my ancestors where part of the original William Penn migrants, do I get a chunk of Pennsylvania? I think I might deserve it since the King bequeathed it, and I have native blood from that region.
