DNA won’t always show American Indian ancestry. It’s results are not accepted by most tribes as proof. Some times it’s right/Some times it’s wrong.
Say what?! That doesn’t make any sense. So, what test tells you when it’s right or wrong? How do you know if that test is right?
I think that DNA testing can tell if you have "Indian" in you, but it certainly can't tell what actual tribe you belong to.
I've read somewhere that to be a Cherokee, the Cherokee tribe itself has to make that determination.
Anyone can "claim" to be Cherokee, but if they say No you're not, you aren't Cherokee.
