Milk
I’m disappointed that my Native heritage didn’t show up in the DNA test, despite my ignorance about the people. But, at 1/32 Mic Mac, it didn’t even register. That’s just over 3% I guess. I’m proud of the blood I carry, in spite of the exceptionally little I know of the culture; it was hidden from us as children, in a time where ignorance made such things as native heritage a disgrace. My maternal great grandmother (mother’s mother’s mother) was Metis, integrating into White society, being the daughter of Angus Noble. But, disappointed I am. I’m not sure if much under 5% shows. And, maybe Angus Noble wasn’t full blooded Indian, which would make it 1% for me. There’s no way to know that now, I suppose. Call me skimmed milk, I guess. I’ve been called worse. I tell few people actually, not because I’m ashamed, but because I feel like an actor, imposter, or like I’d be cheapening it for personal gain.
There was a lot of Scandian, which surprised me, mostly Scottish/Irish. And, 5% Baltic. What the hay? That was a surprise. It’s true what they say; these tests sure can have some surprising results…
