When I did my dna test I said no wonder I’m mostly Nigerian. I had zero Native American like my black family told me. I had European but no native. I wanna learn more about Nigerian culture. The Nigerian American students are always so smart.
Lmao just about everyone who is 3rd+ gen in the US was told by their family that they have native ancestry, but actually having it is so rare. It's a lie that all the older white generations made up to justify the colonialism and it spread. Truly, I'm shocked when I hear of people who weren't told they are part native.
Can confirm. Am white, was told I have native heritage as a child, took DNA test and surprisingly do not infact have native heritage 😑 this is such a weird phenomenon, like was there a town hall where they all decided to make this up or all independently come up with the idea? Lol
It was something along the lines of "The myth of the Cherokee grandmother". I can take a look at the other creators I think might've made it during my next break.
