I found the same thing! According to what a late uncle had told me, I should be 1/16th Cherokee - it was zero.

It's my understanding that different DNA tests can vary in their ability to identify Asian and Native American ancestry. I don't expect more than 1/16th or 1/32nd as a result, but having traced our genealogy through birth records to a specific Cherokee individual on my father's side, and the confidence my grandmother on my mother's side had in her Delaware (Lenape) ancestry, I'm going to try the test mentioned in this report. I've always been very proud of this reputed history, but unlike Fauxfahontas was never tempted to use it to claim any benefits or preferences reserved for the folks my European ancestors pushed aside.

P.S.: George A. Custer was a lifelong Democrat.

Much “Native American” shows up as Mediterranean/North African as the Egyptians and Phoenicians had large encampments in the Americas during the “bronze age” ... Of course this includes the Israeli tribes too as they were part of the Egyptian empire for many years and are indistinguishable from them... Modern Egyptians are darker skinned and have DNA mixed with more African peoples.
