Well, I am the American Indian here, I guess and I'm full blooded as well. I am 100% De'naina Indian, of the Black raven Clan, there is another Clan called the Yellow Fish Tail Clan. My Mother was from the area around Mt. Susitna, in Alaska and as of today her ashes are all over that Mountain!! She grew up in the Old Ways, had a Moose and a Brown Bear for Pets, can you imagine??? Anyways, I have 5 younger Brothers and Two Sisters and the Towns of Kenai and Soldotna full of Aunts, Uncles, Nieces and Nephews, 1st to 7th Cousians.
Seems that nowdays, everyone has a little Indian in them!! Not sure that there were ever that many Indians to make that many people, but........if you say so!! I got My Blood Quantum Card to prove it, how about you?? Ha Ha Ha!!!

I am Cajun. My grandmothers were born on the same street and went to kindergarten together, in Lafayette, Louisiana. I am the first person in generations of my family not to be born and raised in Louisiana. Even in my generation every single cousin still live in Lafayette and are raising their children there. I don't look that different from other white people in America, but I like being Cajun because it is the only American ethnicity, since the Native Americans. The Cajun's have they're own traditions and ways of talking and cooking. And just so you know, Cajun's are descended from peopl that immigrated from France to Canada and then to Louisiana although there are some ares in the northeast where a lot of people have Cajun last names.

I'm a Black woman. My mother is 1/2 Caucasian [Irish] and 1/2 Goolah [bone up on your history...lol] My Dad was 1/2 mixed Black [white and Black] and 1/2 Native American.
Interesting background to say the least - but then I find that common of most modern day US Blacks.
My children are born of myself and my former husband is was part Caucasian, Black and Native American.
We run the rainbow in hue from 'Julia Roberts white-looking' to sultry looking dark chocolate to Sade' look alikes...
Vive le Difference!

English, German, Irish and Choctaw (Native American).
Truthfully, it doesn't matter. All humans are mutts. All ethnic backgrounds are both good and bad in their own ways.
Please step back for one moment and look at yourself. I'll bet there is a lot about you that's not 'average'. You need to be proud of yourself, the KIND of person you are and not the COLOR person you are.
The value of a person is in how they view themselves, what they acomplish in life, how they positively change the world around them and how they inspire others to be better people.
Life is short and you have a lot to do. Get busy on the things that matter and forget what you cannot change!

I am Irish, Spanish, and Lebanese. Many people like to guess what ethnicity I am though when they see me. I have black hair, dark brown eyes, and lightly tanned skin. I've gotten everything from mexican, indian, to even Russian once. I just laugh it off. Also, there's nothing wrong with being "just your average black girl" in appearance. Black women can be gorgeous just like any other mix or particular ethnicity. :)

I love these kinds of questions. People are so interesting! Anyway, I was adopted but I still learned about my background. My mother was English, French and Italian (basically European)
and my father was English and Jordanian. I love my "mix", I have dark thick hair, dark eyes and olive skin!

I like to learn about others backgrounds too. As far as I know I'm black. On my father's side of the family my great great grandmother was white. On my mother's side of the family my great great grandparents were Native American...Cherokee and Black Foot.

Mom side: dominican, creole, native american, some white
Father side: black (decendents of american slaves) and native american, some white
I look like a medium-light skin black guy, but you can see a little bit of native american features in me (even with both sides, I have less then 15% native american blood in me)

English, Scottish, Swedish, Welsh, probably some German, maybe a little Irish, D/Lakota Indian, Choctaw Indian, and whatever we don't know from my mother's biological Grandfather's family. I'm not really "mostly" anything. lol
