No, the report clearly states Native American.

Thanks. I did a test and originally it showed NA but then a few months later was changed to Mexican/NA.

Actually...

“To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American. That’s because scientists believe that the groups Americans refer to as Native American came to this land via the Bering Strait about 12,000 years ago and settled in what’s now America but also migrated further south. His report explained that the use of reference populations whose genetic material has been fully sequenced was designed “for maximal accuracy.”

Even though her report “clearly” states Native American it does not mean Indian. I had mine done and I have 18% Native American. My mother’s side came from Costa Rica. Ancestry places all of the Americas as Native American. With my 18% I never would suggest to be what we now call Native American (Indian).
