Interesting article. The upshot seems to be that the Huns introduced Asian DNA to Eastern Europe. Same DNA that ended up in the Americas.

As my dad use to tell us kids when we asked “where are we from”, his stock answer was “you’re mutts” (and we knew a mutt was a dog that was not a dog of any particular breed). We’d laugh, knowing what he meant, we needn’t be concerned about “where are we from”, just who we are.
Imagine the sweet irony if Fauxcahontas’ presidential campaign is razed in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan.
Lizzie is more likely to have Genghis Khan DNA than Cherokee DNA.
Determining your ethnic ancestry using DNA analysis is a parlor game. It can help you decide whether you should buy lederhosen or a kilt, but beyond that it just serves a marketing tool for the DNA testing companies. This is especially true for ethnic groups that are not well represented in current databases.
The video between Pocahontas Warren and her Stanford Professor DNA Guru were very carefully scripted and produced to give an impression that her “results” proved Native American ancestry. It did nothing of the sort, it simply provided a range of probabilities, and the range was so broad that it was good enough to show that Warren is a Homo Sapien Sapien.

This is why your pregnancy doesn’t result in a litter of puppies.
I have family members on the Dawes Rolls.
Traceable.
And I am 1/8 Cherokee.
But when I took a DNA test it came back with 99% either Northern European or Scandinavian.
1% African from “North Africa”.
And I can trace my heritage back to two grandparents that were both 1/2 Cherokee. And my family origin is Oklahoma dust bowl. Both Maternal and Paternal lineage.
I think they just throw shit out there based on your name. And surname.
Now I know the goths were a nomadic people, traveling thousands of miles during the Great Migration. But I’m pretty damn sure they didn’t migrate to North America and have their way with the native wimmins.
I’ve already read the scalding statement from the Cherokee Nation on this. I wonder if she will be forced to resign?
She’s less Indian than the average non-Indian in the Nation....
