According to this, Mary Powhatan was the daughter of John Rice Rees “Trader” Hughes and Princess Niketti, (She Who Sweeps The Dew From Flowers) Powhatan.
This makes Megan 1/512 Powhatan.
Most users on this site are Non-European, so what exactly would they know about us? LOL
@TheHelper If she has Native American blood then she is Native American racially. Skin color and physical appearances don’t define what she is.
That’s according to American laws (the 1% rule), but not according to science. You can’t simply delete her MASSIVE European DNA and only stick to what is being stated as “possibly 1/256th Powhatan Native American”. Identity is a thing and race is another thing.
Skin color and physical appearances don’t define where you come from originally, and what you are. So if she identifies with her Native American ancestry then she is Native American
nope
Yep. If men can pretend to be the opposite sex, she can be native American. At least its in her dna history
@Dem93, spot on!
Pretty weird to be fixated on a possible 1/512 Native ancestry. Sorry.
