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.

Don’t the Zuni like the Hopi and the Pueblo claim to be part of the Chaco culture even though they are a race apart?
I think the Zuni moved into that area after most others had left.
My wife has possibly 1/64 Native American ancestry as a great grandmother was at least part Iroquois. My mother in law jokes that they would have to be part some tribe without casino revenue to share.
That’s what I thought, thanks!
A black neighbor of mine said, “ That b**** is whiter than mayo on Wonder bread.”
They didn't insert "3rd party" DNA-- they just lied. If the person was of pure European ancestry with no African origin they deceptively listed it as, " less than 2% African Ancestry" to "mess with the white supremacists".
Cracked -- not a news source, as I said..
When I was working on my Cherokee genealogy I got in touch with a member of the Cherokee tribe that was a genealogist and he said it is one of the most diluted tribes, they intermarried with Caucasians and others much earlier than many other tribes. One of the sad things about the Cherokee removal is large numbers of Cherokee were already assimilated, living as “white” people...had communities, farming, ETC. Many spoke English and lived as and with whites. Those removed to Oklahoma were not full Cherokee, even then.
Ah, sorry. I thought I saw it somewhere else but maybe they were citing this.
My bad.
That was 23 and Me that purposely misreported Europeans to have some African and/or Semitic genes.
I know ancestry.com throws out what it considers “common” DNA to the exclusion of what actually may be a match. I have a relative who has a half sister. She still shows as half sister, but when I run the DNA through GEDMatch without the exclusions, it’s a much stronger match.
Agreed.
They say there was no “Cherokee” tribe prior to like the 1600s. It was a mixture of other tribes and white and possibly Jewish settlers. I do show a little Ashkenazi as well.
I have mine traced to the Caesars in some instances. I believe it back to about the 1500s. Have been doing genealogy since about 1983. Have been in America a VERY long time.
.4% and .3% with 90% confidence
My NA ancestry drops to .1% with 90% confidence, stays at .2% with 80%.
Cherokee, particularly Eastern, are highly undersampled. I think it is a recent mixed modern tribe made up of whites and Creek or some other older tribes.
Ancestry doesn’t show me has having any African or NA. I have not run into African in my genealogy, though I believe I do have Cherokee - on both sides. I also believe I’ll never prove it. 23 and me shows me with both African and NA and GedMatch shows me with both.
