Blu is a great-granddaughter of Bill/William Center, from Porcupine, South Dakota, who was Oglala Lakota. She also has an Apache great-grandfather.
Blu’s paternal grandmother is named Sophie Frances Farias (whose parents were surnamed Farias and Houghton).
Blu’s maternal grandfather is named Peter Christopher Andreotti.
Blu’s maternal grandmother is Deborah Dee Davidson (the daughter of Arthur J. Davidson and Helen M. Gabbard).

I found a family tree for her grandfather, but it’s not very accurate. Blu’s mother is the daughter of Virginia Perez Meza according to the tree, and Peter’s wife was named Deborah Dee Jones, but that is not true.
Blu’s grandmother is deffinitely Deborah Davidson that I posted previously.
I will post the link for posteriority, anyway.

sooooo she’s 1/16 NA??
Which ancestors were of European and which were of Native American descent?
I think her mother is just white.
This is a pic of her mother and grandmother:

I don’t know who her paternal grandfather is. Her paternal grandmother has a Hispanic last name (which might also be Native from southwest US). If her great-grandmother is who I think it is, she’s of British and Mexican descent.
I think Farias may be Portuguese. There are people of Portuguese descent in California.
I figured out who her father is.
Blu’s paternal grandmother is Sophie Frances Farias.
Sophie’s parents had last names Farias and Houghton.
I suspect (but I could be completely off base) Sophie’s mother is Frances Houghton, daughter of Bernard Joshua Houghton and Sophia Lobo.
She had 2 other sisters, but one died in childhood, and the other was too young to be Sophie’s mother.
This is the family tree:
