This is amazing to see. Most people are surprised with their results (especially blacks when we discover all that slave master blood).
And you can cluster that East Asia (Siberia) as an additional part of your Native heritage percentage.
Natives traveled from the Bering Strait (located in Siberia) to the Americas to begin their tribes. So you're a at around 41%.
Do you know of any Native American ancestors in your family? Or any tribal affiliation within your family that would cause the NA to pop up?
I assumed you're hispanic because many of them, Puerto Ricans in particular, have very very high percentages of Native American in their blood, because many of them are descendants of Mesoamericans. (Which weren't actual American Indian tribes but they were among the first to settle here). But a lot of them deny the heritage because of its association with Mexico.
The maximum NA heritage a black person has is around 5%. Since we are largely descended from Africa, and most of our ancestors are black or white. And Indians in general, didn't mingle with blacks and were against the white man's mess. So this explains why many of us have no NA heritage. Out of 8 great grandparents, only one of mine is Indian. But it's close enough of heritage for it to pop in a test. (And it's crazy cuz I look just like her
)
Genes are amazing, so happy for you. Use this is as a BASE for your research, if you're interested. Take a couple more tests, just to get a more well rounded generalization. Then bring it to your family and ask some questions. Just gather your stuff first before you approach them, remember whatever you tell your family regarding your test will be taken as truth for them. So take that seriously. Research research research.
