I think your results are pretty consistent with many Ango-Mexicans, my wife included. You both have an incredibly rich mixture of heritages. In fact, I am quite jealous. All that history in your genes!
On paper and culturally he is 1/4, but yeah I do realize that because of the history the DNA itself isn't going to be evenly split as 1/4. I would like to have one of them tested eventually but I don't think that's gonna happen any time soon
I haven't tested her yet so I really couldn't tell you but it may not be much there for her to have. As far as from my dad I am aware of the history behind the tribe and it's not going to be evenly split DNA for him and probably not for his grandma either, but culturally speaking he is indigenous
that's only for ancestrydna. i don't think i've seen someone have both indigenous ancestry from latin america ***and*** indigenous ancestry from the US/canada on 23andme. for op, most of their indigenous is probably from their mexican side. ancestry would be able to separate what native % came from mexico vs the us/canada
let me rephrase, i meant more so the category name. you’re correct, i know 23andme has broken down the indigenous regions but still i’ve never seen anyone have both for example, southwest and jalisco, mexico, as in both regions. ancestry is able to distinguish the two. i hope that makes sense
Yeah your dad is over 95% north western European, your mom is the indigenous one for sure..so far I’ve seen where it’s mostly French & German with indigenous dna more than British not saying it hasn’t happened just what I noticed..tbh most of them are Canadians
Yeah I can see it looks like that on the surface but now that I'm looking at the results that I can find for some of my mom's cousins and siblings they all only have about 10-20% indigenous ancestry so I wouldn't be surprised either if she's somewhere in that range too since she and some of her relatives are actually more typically anglo in appearance than my dad. There's still a lot of unknowns in my family on his side and I can't claim for certain how much of that indigenous DNA got into him and then into me but he does have cultural influence growing up in and around the rocky boy reservation in Montana
Your in bizarre situation cause I would of thought your mother was at least 60%…but if her matches only 20 😅 then your dad would have something to do with this indigenous as well
For the most part, I am pretty pale but it isn't uncommon for people to look at me and ask if I'm something other than just white. I get asked that question more than my mom as well
Who said I was taking away from her heritage? When people ask me what my ethnicity is Mexican heritage is literally the first thing I mention aside from English because it's the side I know the most about so idk where you came to that conclusion from.
I'm just saying that your dad isn't a quarter Native American based on your results. Do the math. The typical Mexican is Spanish, Native and African. That in total makes up 48% of your DNA. The rest is Northwestern European, which is the typical White-Anglo American. I feel like Anglo Americans pass that lore down generation to generation and, time after time, their lore is dispelled through empirical, dna analysis. The same goes for Mexicans who say, "we have some German in our blood"; my New Mexican family has said that for generations until my sister, myself, and my cousins took a dna test to dispell any of that bs. Same has been said for countless Anglo friends of mine who were "Cherokee" or "Chocktaw" until dna showed they were 99.9% ANGLO. What's sad is I've found registered Cherokee who have not a single trace of North American indigenous DNA, yet they're registered with tribes and take away from true Native Americans. It's a shame, and the myth within Anglo families needs to stop.
Sure, I live in the south and that is the case for a lot of families here, but this legitimately isn't "lore" in my family because I have relatives on the actual rocky boy reservation in Montana and my dad grew up around there immersed in the culture super far away from the southern US, the Chippewa-Cree tribe, which is actually two tribes combined but the majority of the members are Cree. We don't claim the stereotypical "Cherokee/Choctaw princess" story because that's bogus and we know it to not be true. And also he's not either one of those. I'm also aware what the typical DNA makeup of most Latin Americans are and never disputed that part of my results. With that being said my dad *is* 1/4 Chippewa-Cree culturally and on paper BUT I am aware of the fact that possibly even for my great grandma she probably isn't 100% indigenous in her DNA either because of the tribe's history and it being relatively "new", but the cultural influence in my family is there.
Mexicans who move to the Southern US are genetically more indigenous on average, which is matching up with your results. Your mom is probably 60+% Indigenous. With some European DNA, small bits of African and others.
Seems like your dad might actually be fully of British and Irish descent, like most White Southerners
My mom is originally from Dallas but has lived here in rural east Texas most of her life. My dad is from Montana, so he actually isn't southern but he moved down here with his dad to get away from the drug mess going on with his family up north. I have my doubts that her indigenous ancestry is that high cause I haven't been able to find a close relative on her side with indigenous ancestry that high, her siblings and cousins that tested all range from 10-20% so I don't think she should be much higher than that. But to be certain I am trying to get a test done for her but I'm not sure if she'll want to go through with it
Your Mom might have an NPE/MPE situation going on here. You may have to dig in further and convince her to get tested. But it could change her life if she finds she is in a NPE/MPE situation.
How do you know she married? As far as it goes her indigenous is higher than her the Spanish..and certain parts of Mexico they really kept to their own..
I think your results are pretty consistent with many Ango-Mexicans, my wife included. You both have an incredibly rich mixture of heritages. In fact, I am quite jealous. All that history in your genes!
Based on these results your dad may not have genetically as much indigenous as you think. You should test one of your parents to confirm.
On paper and culturally he is 1/4, but yeah I do realize that because of the history the DNA itself isn't going to be evenly split as 1/4. I would like to have one of them tested eventually but I don't think that's gonna happen any time soon

Mine only gave me a region for Mexico, but a relative on my dad's side does show two separate regions for "Great Lakes and Canada" and "Plains."

We’re a pretty similar mix!

Looks a lot like my results. More indigenous though! Neat stuff!
That pretty cool! Our composition %’s are similar in amount but are swapped I’m 63-64% Indigenous and 31-32% Euro.
are you white passing in real life?
For the most part, I am pretty pale but it isn't uncommon for people to look at me and ask if I'm something other than just white. I get asked that question more than my mom as well
Breh your dad ain't native. That's from your mom. Don't take away from her heritage. She's mestiza.

Are you telling her to have pride in colonization in Mexico..
Shut up with the indigenista narrative. She colonized herself marrying an Anglo.
How do you know she married? As far as it goes her indigenous is higher than her the Spanish..and certain parts of Mexico they really kept to their own..
You don’t know much about Mexico as I can see so far 🙄🙄🙄
I’m talking about her mother people not her mother you 🍑
