What tribe is it? Let me think about that one,” Trump said. “Meantime, she’s based her life on being a minority… I will give [her] a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the [DNA] test and it shows you’re an Indian.” She's not an Indian. DNA test results that show she has between 1/64th – 1/1,024 Native American ancestry — or 0.097 percent to 1.56 percent, do not make her an Indian. Anymore than the 0.4% of Balkan DNA or 0.1% of Sardinian DNA that I possess make me a Balkan or a Sardinian. Trust but verify; she said she had an Indian ancestor, and she has DNA markers to prove it. That’s because scientists believe that the groups Americans refer to as Native American came to this land via the Bering Straight about 12,000 years ago and settled in what’s now America but also migrated further south. His report explained that the use of reference populations whose genetic material has been fully sequenced was designed “for maximal accuracy.”
