America has a huge “Fake Indian” problem. It’s hard to know exactly how many people, often white leftists, falsely claim to be descended from the nation’s early Indian population, but census numbers show either a massive population boom or a sharp growth in fake Indians.

It's a 23andMe "problem" (it may be "huge" but it's not "fake"). There is probably a lot more Native American DNA in the US today than there was when Leif Erikson first landed.

Watch/read "The Last of the Mohicans". Uncas, son of Chingachgook, was the "Last of the Mohicans", because there were no pure-blooded Mohican women for him to marry.

There were no pure-blooded Mohican women for Uncas to marry because they had all married Dutch and English men.

(I have 23andMe, family lore, and a surname that's uncommon in Europe but common in the US, particularly in the Hudson Valley. Unlike Elizabeth Warren, I have never claimed to be a Native American on a job or school application. But I think the small % of my DNA that is Native is pretty cool, and something that's as American as apple pie. It goes against the establishment efforts to divide us all.)

Also that the 2000 census for the first time allowed people to check more than one ethno-racial identity and thereby identify as multiracial.
