    One of my grandmother’s, who survived wounded knee as a toddler, told my cousin that as long as he knows the blood they share, even if they say it’s only 1% then they are Lakota like her.

    i bet your grandmothers would feel the same.

      Oh absolutely. As do the tribes. Despite not being the most visually recognizable descendants. Even my father at this point simply due to the way genetics works doesn’t have the markers that a lot of the DNA tests used to identify native populations. But blood is blood, and we can trace our lineage right back to past tribal leaders even.
