In my 75 years
traveling around
Mother Earth to native gathering
in New York, New England,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware
and parts of Northeast Canada.
There was no problem
believing that the people we met were in fact,
Native Americans,
no DNA test or the need of proof of blood percentage from anyone.
no DNA test or the need of proof of blood percentage from anyone.
That is "Until
around the middle 1980's!"
Non-native
politicians stepped in, to change the laws
and settle our 'land claims'
again.
In other words, to
do away with our land claims.
One might tend to
guess, the speed of the internet had a little to do with it?
I tend to believe
that the
"Government Controlled Indian Appointment of Casino Indian
Reservations,"
and their Money was the reason!
(Indians)?
From
across the Mississippi River started showing up at our gathering and bulling
elders, pushing what did not work, with their elders, at these Eastern
Gatherings.
Not my grandfathers
gatherings,
never allowed at mine, my fathers,
or my grandfathers gatherings!
(((NEVER)))!
Well, now that most
of the elders have crossed or retired,
they seem to be back like the greedy vultures that they are!
Now on the this
article
Sorry,
Scott Brown:
Scott Brown:
A DNA test can’t
tell us
if Elizabeth Warren
has Native American roots
if Elizabeth Warren
has Native American roots
To which my response
was:
Can she?
Would a DNA test
actually answer that question?
actually answer that question?
No.!
Nanibaa' Garrison is
a bioethicist and assistant professor of pediatrics at Seattle Children's
Hospital. A Native American, she earned a PhD in the Department of Genetics at
Stanford, with a dissertation focused on ancestry. In a phone call Tuesday
afternoon, she explained why Brown's suggestion -- and the Republican National
Committee insisted on Tuesday that it was only that, a suggestion -- wouldn't
do any good.
"It's really
difficult to say that a DNA test would be able to identify how much Native
American ancestry a person has," Garrison said.
That's because
determinations of ancestry are based on "ancestry-informative
markers" -- genetic flags that offer probabilities of the likelihood of
certain ancestries. Most of those markers, AIMs, are "based on global
populations that are outside of the U.S.," she said, "primarily
people of European descent, people of Asian descent and people of African
descent.
So,
should a Warren
apologize
to Native Americans?
should a Warren
apologize
to Native Americans?
ANSWER
NO!
