Not sure how you arrive at that as dot Indians are caucasian and I don't see them as being overly white or supreme at anything...okay, maybe spelling bees.
I'm thinkin dot Indians are not Caucasian, but something else entirely...don't care what no book might have to say on the matter, either.
Mike r merely posted a question, turns out Innuit is better, unless you're such an insensitive clod as to use the term "Eskimo"

All's I know is that I tolerate the cold pretty well and in the fall when the leaves start to turn..I lose my mind and start stuffing food into every available storage place in the house and out buildings.

Actually I had a buddy in the Peace Corps who had taught at a mixed Inuit/Eskimo and American Indian high school in Alaska. Of course both groups of students beat the crap out of each other regularly, said the one group of kids hated to be called the "E" word, so of course the Indians called 'em that all the time.

My mom's aunt and uncle taught school for several years on the rez. It was either Hays or Lodgepole...cant remember. I dont think they were combined back then.
Their kids were of course the only white kids in school.
Ar recess they would go out and play....Cowboys and Indians.
my, sometimes I think senile, 84 year old mother did stupid DNA stuff. Now all she can wonder on days, how did that get into my genes. Where did it come from (duh) etc... and what do I do about it.
Demanded that I did mine. I told her we have roots back to 1600s or so, IIRC, factual, what more do you want.
Of course mine came back some stuff she didn't expect.
But really, WGAF. This is a Gus post.
There isn't a thing I can do about my past. Only my future. Can't even change a minute ago.
And I'd never trade my lederhosen for a kilt or some stupid crap. I don't actually give a flip where I came from anyway, only where I'm going. In many ways.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

They just updated a bunch of DNA tests as they "... have refined their techniques with over five times the comparison DNA samples" to use now. Original results were almost 3/4 Irish and a total of 11 genetic components. Had a number of tiny portions, like 2% Norse, and 8% WOP. New results have just 10% Mick, 40% French, and 50% Great Britain... for some reason I just lost a lot of faith in both results.
The new results obviously rely on family history and written genealogy. I already have that. I wanted the reality. The nice round numbers also bother me.

I came to the conclusion some time ago that an educated guess is still just a guess.
