DNA may not show your heritage correctly. Do not take that test for granted. Many Native People have chosen not to participate in testing. Do not despair. Discovering your heritage can be a challenging journey, but there are valuable resources available to help you along the way. While avenues may yield little information, others can provide significant insights into your ancestry. Take a moment to explore these recommended resources, and you may uncover the stories of your ancestors that have been waiting to be found. Happy searching!
