The problem with that DNA texting is that over 40% of Americans have some degree of American Indian in them...I did the test and found that I am 14%. BUT in order to prove your Indian heritage you have to have an ancestor that was on one of the Indian Rolls done back about the turn of the century. That was when everyone was trying to hid his/her heritage, so most didn’t enroll. Otherwise you are just a good ol’ American!

I am not arguing but that “over 40%” figure seems a bit high.

Indian Artist Willard Stone

Some of Willard's Sculptures. has a son Jason that is carrying on the Indian art of his father, he just can't call it Indian art because Willard was never on a roll.
