It’s funny, I grew up hearing that and thinking I was some odd percentage native American only to find out that I had no native blood in me when doing a DNA test. I did find some African and Asian ancestry though so that was cool, never even knew/heard about that.
Well, you’ll be interested to know that those tests will often show African and Asian dna when it is in fact Native American dna, but because of the genocide we don’t have enough examples to properly test.
I just assumed it was the white families trying to pull shit like “oh I’m not racist, I have a black fiend” but with ancestry. Which could still be the case I suppose.

It turns out rape is part of genocide.
Or just regular ol’ love. Not that rape wasn’t (and isn’t) a part of genocide, slavery, and other atrocities.
And that 1/16 is the only part that has a real claim to American lands
No it’s just some bullshit white people tell themselves.
White US Americans. If you talk about your “heritage” in Europe, people will consider you clinically insane and avoid you like the pest.

I was told the same story. Took a DNA test. I am whiter than white bread. 99.8% Western European. My family wanted to argue with me about it.

So you may very well have native ancestry.
