He is now denying the validity of dna tests. I don’t want to say the past 35 years of having him treat me worse than he treats his sister had anything to do with his assumptions of my dna, but he was upset to learn that I am more Irish than him. I wonder what he thought of my mother before these results…

    There are lots of tribal card carrying natives who wouldn’t test positive for native ancestry on a DNA test. The tribes don’t even use these tests, they require you to prove ancestry with birth and death certificates from yourself back to someone listed on the final rolls. At least that’s how my tribe works. That guarantees that you are in-fact an ancestor, and doesn’t depend upon tests whose accuracy has been disputed.
