It does exactly what it claims it will do. Show that their might be some genetic relation. It’s not enough evidence for you to be accepted as a certain tribe member. It might help your case but that is all.
“…his limitation means that genetic testing will not be helpful in many enrollment cases, but it can be helpful for some areas with less documentation of family relationships or the need to confirm direct biological relationships….
In sum, identity is a sensitive issue for many American Indian peoples and nations. The ability to determine the political and legal identity of citizens/members remains within the realm of tribal sovereignty. How enrollment is determined through certain criteria is specific to each and every tribal nation…

Note the headline. Note in the body of the article that it fails to state that she’s maybe 1/1024 “Indian” (but even that’s not true) and that the average white American citizen has a higher %. She’s as white as it gets, and yet here’s a low-fi news article touting that she’s proven it.
50% of the voters will read the headline and will accept that as all the proof they need. Sad, but true.
Yahoo consistently floats between being the 5th to 7th most visited website in the world. Their newsfeed is always prominently displayed for anyone who navigates the site and the headlines are hard to miss. It is nothing less than electronic programming of the masses with disinformation and propaganda.
Now combine this with the censorship and memory-holed jettisoning of truth (and truth-tellers) from social media platforms, along with Google’s biased search engine reporting. If there is a Blue Wave in a few weeks, there will be reasons behind it.
It remains to be seen if websites like this one has awoken enough people to slow the ever-expanding slough. Only time will tell.
Come out of the closet, Uncola. Either use awakened or woke. Sitting on the fence is for losers. David Bowie and Jim Crockett died for nought if you don’t recall the old battle cry – Remember the Stonewall.
Tony, you really ought to read for understanding. I mixed the Alamo revolt with the Stonewall rebellion (fence-sitting) to ping off the come out of the closet remark with the use of Ziggy Stardust, who always liked to tease about his sexuality.
Exactly why we left our yahoo email address. With outlook now. Don’t know if they’re any better but knew we needed off the yahoo platform for sure. Even though our political votes may not count we can still vote with our feet and pocketbook for many of these kinds of issues… Chip

Lots of us white people have injun blood. Some a little more some a little less. Most of us have had most of the red bred out of us. So what?
LMAO!!!
The tribes do not accept DNA tests as proof that you are native American.
Alright! MC comes out swinging and posts a fact based, incontrovertible, unambivalent, in yo’ face comment.

You mean Jim Bowie? David Bowie is a singer.

But, yes, awakened would have been better methinks.
