  • The purpose of this class is to review the scientific and anthropological evidence regarding Indigenous peoples of the Americas and the genetic markers that have been associated with their ancestry. Through Y chromosome, mitochondrial DNA, and autosomal DNA testing, individuals can learn if they have ancestors that were indigenous to the American continent, regardless if they have a paper trail to demonstrate it.
    In this Discovering Native American Ancestry through DNA video, we'll cover the basics of DNA as it relates to Native American ancestry and the history behind it all.

    My family is from Mexico City and Morelos, Mexico. I got 94% Indigenous America's Mexico in Ancestry DNA. Through Ancestry Dna testing i found distant cousins as far as the southwest, Utah, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Great lakes and Winnipeg Canada who are members of federally recognized tribes. My grandmothers were the last in our family to speak Nahuatl. I'm a direct decendant of the Toltecs, Mexicah, and Otomies tribes who occupied central Mexico. My mother came out even purer. She's 98% Native American and 2% French. The French occupied Mexico city until they were defeated. That's why we celebrate Cinco De Mayo. The name of the country Mexico 🇲🇽 comes from the Mexica people (Aztecs)and the shield that's on the flag is from aztec mythology. The eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake. My haplogroup is A2.

      @M I'm of mix indigenous descent from Central Mexico what consists Mesoamerica. My fathers family is from Cuentepec, Morelos, Mexico. Nahuatl is still spoken as an everyday language there and the people there are direct decendants of the Toltecs, Mexica and the Tlahuica. My mothers family, on the other hand is from Mexico City and Atlixco Puebla. Her mother and father spoke both Nahuatl and Otomi. Part of my family also still have their indigenous last name. On Ancestry my regions are Hidalgo, Bajio and Ciudad De Mexico, and i even got 3% Yucatan Peninsula. After the fall of Tula the people there fled to Cuentepec. There they build Xochicalco. I'm very proud to be Mesoamerican. Despite not having horses our people built the greatest Native American civilization. Unlike our brothers from the north. The richness of Central Mexico is what helped our ancestors flourish. Not all Mexican share Aztec/ Mexicah ancestry only people whose family has lived in what is now Mexico City, Hidalgo, Morelos, Veracruz, Guerrero and parts of Oaxaca since pre Hispanic times can claim this.

      @@user-hy8zy3zq8c no, not every Mexican claims Aztec, although many Will, bc Aztec r a group of tribes. I, my family, self identity as Mexican Americans, use that term for clear identity, but I never say I am Aztec, as many like us, know our tribes. I am from Huachelo from Jalisco, Mexico (mom), Yaqui from Sonora (Yaqui both sides of border), dad's ppl. If you know the state or area ur family is from, It's not that hard to get ur tribe from Mexico, bc most tribes, r still in same area., Even the way ur family cooks, can help you.

    The first time I heard about the tracks was from my Chinese boss, he told back in 87 that the tracks go west across beringia.
    We as Indigenous people have stories of having to outrun the last ice age. We followed the big game across beringia, like horse's, camels, moose etc. Horses were reintroduced after contact by the Spaniards.

    I did 23andme it shows I have 32% Indigenous. What I did find out is through paternal haplo group I have the Q-M3 saying I share a paternal lineage with ‘The Chosen One’ or the Kennewick Man.
    My maternal haplo group A2 who did the same as Beringia migration, used the Coastal Highway to lead them south.
    The elders or paleo tribes that came through Beringia and settled in North America and so on, we call them First Peoples or First Nations. It is understood and we agree.

    If Native dna is so distinctive, where did 2% of mine go several yrs ago. I read that they just throw a small amount into a pool of the majority of a person's dna. Some people no longer have their Native dna. Can you explain that? Also, does Siberian indicate Native American dna?

    • @viktoryosiel
      @viktoryosiel Před 2 lety +6

      What happens is DNA research companies are getting more accurate with time because they have more people tested. What they do is to compare your DNA with groups that live in the area for hundred of years and they can prove their lineage. It is a difficult task to find these people but every year they have more samples to compare to. I did my test with Ancestry at the beginning of this year, then with the latest update some of my DNA changed. However most of it was very accurate with my genealogic research. I didn't have a good experience with my heritage DNA, for sure my sample was contaminated, the test result showed that I was japanese 😄 and other oriental regions around the area when my ancestors are native american and european. Don't trust my heritage.

      If you can find where ur grandma was from, u may be able to find a birth certificate if you know her full name. Most tribes in México and South America, r still in same area. Even how ur family cooks, some spices, can give you a hint, if you have a little solid background, sometimes u can find ur tribe. Perú is a valuable gem for the Americas ancient history.

    Choctaws register with a majority of A2 & significant B2 with some D1. Chickasaws register with a significant A2 & predominantly B4'5, supposed to be a derivative of B2, but instead is an alternate descendant of B4, B4 registers as a Central Asian/East Asian haplogroup. Which can cause confusion. But it's not B4 proper, it's B4'5 , which is a derivative of an East Asian haplogroup, but also, doesn't exist in Asia. It's supposed to be B2, which is the North American exclusive derivative of B4, but it's not, it's another alternative derivative.
    Choctaw & Chickasaw DNA tests show a 70%/30% ratio of North Native American/East Asian and Native Mexican/Mesoamerican.
    That's before any admixture with Inuits, or with any White or Black Adoptee tribal members, or with non-affiliated White & Black people. Or with any modern immigrants from any country.

      Please note the "For Every" is an all out lie. The writer knows better. I assume this the the broom used to deal with the truth that hit in 2017 and over 6 years MAN is able to degradate the truth. Took 6 year.. hmm. not bad.

    There are a number of contributions to Native American populations. The mitochondrial (maternal) lineages consist of the R Semitic/Eurasian lineage of A, the N Semitic lineage of B, and the Asian lineages of C and D. This is because the paternal Eurasian haplogroup of Q (Madai) joined/married the Semitic maternal haplogroup A from the beginning. The maternal Semitic haplogroup of B appears to have crossed the Pacific Ocean to reach the Americas. Maternal haplogroups C and D are Asian. There are also the paternal descendants of Cush in the Americas who are from the house of Nimrod with the C paternal Y chromosome, like the NaDené and Aucá Indians. This genetic information explains well the diversity of American Indians including the Olmec statues in Central America.

      Want to be blown away? I am Quileute Native, the last tribe of the band called Chimikuan from the PNW. We have a rare language that almost let die but we are now coming back hard trying to save our traditions. We are so isolated that our culture is remarkably well preserved. There are only 13 languages in history that we know of that used no phonic nasal sounds. Those break down into 3 groups on absent nasal phonics and my tribe remains the only "true absence"...the closest language is a phonic dialect from southern Iran. It's very strange. I'm glad I am showing my class this video and you made your comment of Semitic haplo groups. OH...and our Raven Tales sound awful familiar to the Jinn stories.

    This in an interesting and informative presentation. I do find it interesting that the presenter completely ignores all the factual known eastern bands of "native Americans" that have "African" dna markers. It is such a shame that people still refuse to tell the truth about the native peoples of the Americas. Everything he says is true but still only half of the story. The "native people" themselves tell the story in their history of the people that were here when they got here. The Olmecs that predate the Mayans and Aztecs are only one example of these people but people still refuse to tell that truth.
