It's not just one study, there are a lot of studies, all over the world.
I have ordered a kit to have my own mitochondrial DNA tested It's all the rage with genealogists. My own DNA will tell me whether it's true that my great-great-grandmother was half Native American. If the roots go directly to Europe, then it's probably not true. Actually I might have my mother take the test, our mitochondrial DNA will be identical (more or less) and my siblings would probably get more out of it symbolically coming from her than from me.
I am going to get a nuclear DNA (Y-chromosome) kit as well as a mitochondrial DNA test for my dad.

Sound like fun. Wouldn't it be great if the results read: you are a descendent of the Rockefellers.

It's a riot. So many people at my work claim they have Native blood that you'd think we have Ghost Dance or something. LMAO!
