-- Posted by gnr90 at 9:37 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

-- Posted by Clara Bell at 9:37 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

My great-great grandma on my mom's side was half Cherokee.


-- Posted by ocdbabe at 9:38 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

im like 8%


-- Posted by BeautifulxLiar at 9:38 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

im 50% chehalis Native American


-- Posted by ATTI at 9:40 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

I say none, but it's plausible that I have some in me, as several of my ancestors were in America and brought back spouses, whom nobody in the family has much data on.


-- Posted by aGIRLunknown at 9:40 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

like 20% or something like that my grandmother is 90% native American and my dad is like idk like 50%


-- Posted by californication at 9:44 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

I honestly have no idea. As far as I can trace back my ancestors were from Irish and German. European in general.


-- Posted by FuckUnikka at 9:45 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

none.


-- Posted by Aurelius at 9:51 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

I'm 100% Native American. Ojibwa.


-- Posted by airemaye at 10:15 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

I'm pretty sure I'm 100% western European.

So I'm like, white to the extreme.


-- Posted by jakelong at 11:42 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

I got some but I dont know how to measure that because im mestizo.


-- Posted by Bud2400 at 12:22 am on Sep. 5, 2008

I think one of my great x4 grandparents was Cherokee.  Which would make me something like 1/64 Native American.  Hardly enough to really notice or matter, to be quite honest.  I'm about as much of a paleface as you can get.

There are no real fractions in racial makeup. If you have no Amerind chromosomes present, or you have them all as recessive, you will not, in any way, appear to have ONE Amerind trait.

Hell, they could be all gone by now.

You mean you can have a WHOLE amerind chromosome? what does it look like? a totem?

That's what I figured.  I was mainly going by how many of my great x4 grandparents were what.  I don't ever really claim to be anything but white, to be honest.


-- Posted by nigeltheoutlaw at 11:04 pm on Sep. 5, 2008

1/8 Choctaw. My Great grandma Jenny was full Choctaw I think.

let me know though if you find that amerind chromosome because I look through my genes and all I can find is 1 chromoome from my dad and 1 from my mom. and since they mixed themselves heck if I can find that 1 chromosome.
