One ancestor, 6 to 10 generations back (which doesn’t strike me as very precise), would contribute between about 1.5% and about 0.1% of a person’s DNA.

So I guess she really is The One Percent.

The exact percentage would depend on the number of Native American ancestors contributed to the DNA pool. That said, I had Ancestry.com do my DNA check. The relatively small pool of people from whom they or anyone else can derive a current estimate of the percentages and an undergraduate knowledge of statistics can easily be used to demonstrate that nearly any answer is possible.

It's like asking a lawyer for a correct answer to a math problem. The reply is likely to be "What do you want 2+2 to equal?"

Yes, and it hardly gives one the "street cred" to claim that they deserve some special recognition because of some minute trace of DNA.
