I'm trying to embrace all my ancestral background, I'm Melungeon.

I was always told my grandmother on fatherās side was Blackfeet. My parents, grandparents, siblings & aunties,uncles are all deceased. I sent in Ancestry DNA test & showed mostly European ancestry. My fatherās father was Irish. I was really disappointed, as I have always felt connected to Indigenous identity. I used Ancestry because I read was most reliable for Indigenous DNA. Is there a more reliable DNA company?

I have been doing genealogy research on my Native background, I have hit nothing but walls, even with my own relation who I lived around as a younger person.

Recently Iāve really been diving into my MĆ©tis heritage and am blown away by how sad I am it can be so hard to find people in the media to teach me! Thank you so much for your channel and connecting me to my roots!

Thank you, Mallory, for all you do. Iām elderly man and have been told for many years that my great grandmother was Haudenosaunee-Mohawk. My grandparents were from Quebec.
In recent past Iāve become more interested in this heritage, especially spiritually. One younger brother is a bit interested and other three siblings just ignore that in me.
My journey would be longer than I expect to be alive and thatās ok with me. I read, pray, talk to ancestors, and of course people like you, Mallory. I find it easy to ignore nay-sayers.

My paternal grandmother was primarily Ojibwe and Odawa; with many ancestors and family members coming from and living in Nipissing and surrounding areas, Sudbury, Sault Sainte Marie, Manitoulin Island, Colin's Inlet, Nipigon, and Georgian Bay. There's also some that can be traced back to Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, Ohio, Oklahoma (after the Indian Removal Act, 1830), Kansas, Texas, California, Wisconsin, New York, Michigan,, Montana, and Minnesota.
My grandfather was primarily Mohawk, Miami, and Potawatomi. Many ancestors and family members living in Oka, Deux-Montagnes, St-RƩgis, the most Northern regions of my Alberta (a son of Iroquois Chief Calihoo, one of my many ancestors who worked for the HBC as a guide/interpreter found safe passage during a torrential snowstorm via what was named Devil's alley aka Devil's path, sought out safe passage for the owner, Mr. Simpson, of the HBC and his men during the dangerous, freezing cold snow squalls). Others have been traced to Southern NWT, the Yukon, BC, Ontario, and MontrƩal.
BUT the further back we go in my family tree and research, I've also found paternal family ties to Maliseet, Carrier, Shawnee, Sioux, Ponca, Pawnee, Narragansett, and Cherokee.
There's numerous MĆ©tis in my family tree as well, who I've traced back to the well-known Red River Settlement, St-Boniface, and Pembina (Pembina in Canada and in the USA). I've found out that I'm related to both Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont, which was an interesting find! My ancestors, and current relatives who still reside in Turtle Mountain Reservations in Pembina, North Dakota, can be traced back to s number of amazing Chiefs and leaders. This too came as a pleasant surprise! From Rocky Boy, essentially every signer of the infamous Crossing Treaty (still being adjudicated in Court today in the US by Red Bear Tribal Nation, amongst others).
Currently, I'm tied to Red Bear Tribal Nation, it's hereditary Grand Chief Premiers going back centuries (to the 1600s). My family is part of the Bear š» Clan and many ancestors and relatives led and/or were involved in the sacred Midewiwen society. A long winding road if MANY different directions has led to at least one paternal (grandmother) line of indigenous heritage being determined and confirmed via ancestry research and contact with the Tribal Chief and council of Red Bear.... š§”š¤š¾š»

all I have experienced is gatekeeping and now have no desire to have any contact. I was part of the sixties scoop and was taken at birth and put in an orphanage and have never seen my family since. I do not consider myself Native any more, I am just no one.

Ever since I was a child I knew I was indigenous. I know it in my heart,soul and bones. I remember so many years ago as a little kid I told someone I was Algonquin. At the time I was probably 4. How did I know this? I have been on this path my whole life. I did ancestory dna years ago I went right back to the beginning of me. It showed so much indigenous blood from many parts of the world. And yup there was Algonquin and Haudenosaunee. So I don't care about nay sayers. I know who I am. I wear this with pride. Aho!

Thank you Mallory for this video. Very helpful to hear your wisdom on this subject.

I was wondering if angels are any part of indigenous religion and/or mythology. Cheers.

Thank you. That was refreshing. I look forward to exploring this concept of Gate Keepers.

I think this is one of the most useful videos I've seen about this topic.
It was easy enough to find documentation of my Anishinaabe ancestors, but due to them taking citizenship and assimilating into the surrounding European settler culture, we have no idea what our clan was or which band we were part of. So even documentation can only get you so far. Living connections to community matter the most for feeling a sense of belonging, I have found for myself.
Thank you for making and sharing this video!

Thank you Mallory! This is great advice. I have been on my search for the last few years. I love watching your channel, it has such great advice!! I have found my family are part Dene, from Alberta. The journey continues! All my relations!

I'm trying to connect to my father ..and I don't belong on my mother's side ..and have family in my life that's what I want ..I don't have any family left except my mom..

Thank you, this video was very helpful. Especially the gate keeping. I have not dealt with it from other people, just in my mind. So this video really helped.

I feel for some younger people I know who have Indigenous Heritage through their mom and Settler heritage through their dad. I sometimes see them struggling to honour and identify with both sides of their ancestry, as they have sometimes been influenced to view one side in a more negative light (particularly the Settler side). On their Settler side are ancestors who were involved in Christianity, and I see these young people struggle with negating that side of their heritage. I see these younger people struggling with granting permission to themselves to include both parents in their journey to explore their heritage and to share their full identity. It's possible there are "gatekeepers" in their lives influencing them, as well. I truly appreciate your videos and perspectives, as they help people grow in community, both people with Indigenous heritage, Settler heritage, mixed heritage, and non-Indigenous people.

A lot of great content. I'm an old man so I don't have elderly family to turn to. After she had passed I learned for the first time that my Grandmother Ruth was born on the Sisseton Wahpeton Reservation in South Dakota. This part of my ancestry was not available for me during my first four decades. So some time later I got my DNA tested at Ancestry and 23andMe. Before someone explained this to me, I experienced some disappointment.
She was my father's mother. They were estranged. It had nothing to do with her being Indigenous. It was family stuff. Grandpa Joe was of Portuguese descent. Portuguese was his and Dad's first language. These details are important because genetically nothing was passed on to me from her. The Y from Dad reflected the Portuguese and other Old World roots. Mom gave me her mostly English X chromosome.
I know that DNA is really a small part of my story. I cherish the brothers of the Warriors of Stoney Creek who took me in at a low point in my life. My spirituality is centered in Indigenous ways. And I do seek to honor all of my ancestors.
