You cannot use our DNA tests to join a federally recognized tribe. This is a forensic
DNA test based in part on publicly available tribal American Indian data published in
K. Carrothers et al, “Native American Population Data Based on the Globalfiler® Autosomal
STR loci,” Forensic Science International: Genetics 24:e12-e13. This is a
non-chain-of-custody test and cannot be used for legal or administrative purposes. It
does not yield percentages of ethnicity. Note that no DNA results are accepted by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs to claim membership.
Your Native American ancestors may be very far removed generationally or their genes
are too weak to register statistically. Your results may or may not confirm expected
ethnic composition, family history or genealogical determinations. Alone, no DNA
ancestry test may be used to prove identity, biological relationships, nationality,
citizenship, immigration or tribal enrollment.
We don't use Generative AI in ancestry research or genealogy studies. Your data
remains private and is never shared with AI systems.
