DNA testing.. just saw a commercial where a woman says.. "I was surprised to find out I was 26% Native American!!"

We should ask Elizabeth Warren to take one of these tests..

Did she just hit the jackpot or what, she can sign up to own a casino on native American land (aka her yard) :)

I had the 23and me analysis done and got 3.0% Native American, which goes along with one of my 3rd great grandmothers being in the family tree as Mohawk.

Although it would cool to know for sure my heritage, I'm not sure I want some outside entity having my DNA.

The military already has mine banked, worry less about a commercial enterprise who is lawsuit liable.

Just to add. This is something new from when I had children. My dot and her hub were given a hermetically sealed/hazardous waste labeled foil packet with the DNA of their newborn daughter. It is good for 15 years and is intended for use if, heaven forbid, anything should happen to her. Do they save another sample for another purpose? Who knows. So, Rose, may have a point about giving out DNA. Just thinking out loud.

Also, would like to say that I know my fam history for the past 500 years (Native American, Scot, and French), but it would be interesting to know if I have blood I didn't know about. I already know I have African blood because everyone does, but the rest would be interesting to know.
