The third chapter of Donald Yates’ history of the Cherokee (Old World Roots of the Cherokee, McFarland 2012) contains the genetic story of the Cherokee Indians based on DNA Consultants’ 2009 study “Anomalous Mitochondrial DNA in the Cherokee,” but it is no easy read, being written for an academic audience.
Earlier this year Yates published a condensation of his work in the series Cherokee Chapbooks, called Old Souls in a New World: The Secret History of the Cherokee Indians (Panther’s Lodge). This publication has no footnotes, bibliography or pictures; those must be sought in Old World Roots and scholarly articles Yates has written over the years. But the new chapbook is affordable, quick to read and no less groundbreaking and authentic in its research.
Here, from Old Souls in a New World, is the amazing story of Elvis Presley’s DNA, Indian traders and their Cherokee brides on the Southeastern frontier, haplogroup X, Egyptian T, Berber U, Jewish J and the personal stories of a selection from the fifty-two subjects who blew the lid off Native American studies with their proof of ancient Middle Eastern and Jewish lineages.

As she will say: “You owe me, white male m-f’ers. Pay up!”
True. Bob Dylan said Russian Cossacks raped a lot of women and his Jewish Russian ancestors somehow gave him blue eyes.
How many Jews in the ancient lands had blue eyes enough to pass on the recessive genes to him without being overwhelmed by brown eye genes?
The story that did happen is that one of the companies was putting in its results:
Subsaharan African < 1%
When the actual finding was zero. It was technically true, but misleading, and they were putting it in there specifically to screw with white supremacists.
not a single Cherokee ancestor....
Ancestry DNA later confirmed this, showing that 43% of my DNA came from Ireland/Scotland and 37% from France. The rest was from Spain and Italy.
Interestingly enough, Ancestry DNA recently acquired additional data which contributed to more accurate results: AncestryDNA Revises Ethnicity Estimates.
Depends on the tribe I think. And you have to prove descent genealogically from someone named on the census rolls, in the case of the various Cherokee nations. Genetic testing won't cut it as far as I know.
Whoops, 19th century immigrant. Sorry, great-grandma...
not a single Cherokee ancestor....
You can’t run for President. Sorry.
Can I become a professor at Harvard from my Lazy Boy and get $400000 per year for a single discussion on “Intellectuals liberals, yet Idiots!”?
Yes. I’ll initial your approval document. You did say you’re a Democrat didn’t you? Otherwise, sorry again.
“You can’t run for President. Sorry.”
Actually, every grandparent back for 8 generations was born in Americ a. So unless, I am Obama or Lieawatha, constitutionally, I can run for president with zero foreign born ancestors back 8 generations.
Have you a link?
The Mormons have tried to sell the idea that the American Indians are the Jews that sailed to North America.
Based on your many fine posts with which I agree, I hereby announce I will vote for you for president.
Best,
—Your Fan.
Gee, I thought that you were a good FRiend.
Seriously, we can’t imagine the bs that President Trump puts up with 24/7.
“I believe you have to be 1/16th to get tribal recognition.”
That would require one great-great grandparent (four generations back), so Warren doesn’t qualify on that basis.
Genetic testing doesn’t count. You need to be related to someone on the tribe’s rolls. They even have the rolls at the local “pow-pow’s”.
"Did a group of thirteenth-century Japanese merge with the people, language, and religion of the Zuni tribe? For many years, anthropologists have understood the Zuni in the American Southwest to occupy a special place in Native American culture and ethnography. Their language, religion, and blood type are startlingly different from all other tribes. Most puzzling, the Zuni appear to have much in common with the people of Japan. In a book with groundbreaking implications, Dr. Nancy Yaw Davis examines the evidence underscoring the Zuni enigma and suggests... "
Morgan and his colleagues were caught between a rock and a really-want-to-mess-with-racists place. It would've been fun to throw a "10 percent West African" in there, but then they might have a pissed-off, dangerous person at their office, waving a gun. "Since we couldn't do anything to the results (and we wanted to), what we did was add '< 1 percent' to each African category of ethnicity. That way we weren't lying, and they would both be wondering how much under a percentage point was. We always try to round to the nearest number because we sometimes hear about percentage points, but for them, we leave it open to whether it's a one or a zero."It's a compromise that's elegant in its passive-aggressive simplicity. And it got a result. "The near-N-bomber wrote to us asking what that meant, and we wrote back that it meant it was under 1 percent. And we were not saying zero. Unless they got another test, that was going to bother them. Maybe they weren't 100 percent Caucasian. I mean, they were, according to the results, but this way it leaves it open, and they'll always be wondering."
