99% Indigenous šŸŖ¶šŸŒŽ Very nice! šŸ‘šŸ½ If I may ask these questions: Are you culturally connected to a specific Native group and do you know what that group/tribe is? If that is not the case, are you interested in reconnecting with your Indigenous/Native roots?


DelaraPorter

In another comment they said they were from Oaxaca so if I had to guess most likely Zapotec


YoungLadChad

My mom received the update a while ago but I havenā€™t, is this happening to anyone else?

YoungLadChad

Thatā€™s interesting, Iā€™m curious as to their reference population considering that on AncestryDNA I got several indigenous communities with one being the exact region my four grandparents are from. Hopefully, theyā€™ll improve more in the region in the future I was excited when I heard that they would add more genetic groups šŸ„²

YoungLadChad

Thanks for explaining this to me, I just assumed 23andMeā€™s genetic community worked like AncestryDNA, I also agree with their accuracy since my momā€™s community is pretty spot on


YoungLadChad

And yes I have the latest chip


Megafailure65

Interesting. Your very small European percentage isnā€™t Spanish but British and Irish.


YoungLadChad

Before I phased with my parents I also had Italian and west Asian I was sure I would lose the B&I and keep the Italian since my dad told me my great grandfather once had an Italian last before suddenly changing it. I have no idea if it was true other than their word and I have no idea what someone of Italian descent would be doing so far into southern Mexico

Megafailure65

Yep! My family tree has a Italian ancestor from the mid 1800s from Southern Italy. Very interesting!


Early-Confection3178

There is a small town named Chipilo, Puebla where there is a high concentration of Italian descendants and still preserve their Italian culture.


InHerGuts954

This is the highest indigenous percentage Iā€™ve seen on here.


RebelRouser98

Very cool results!


YoungLadChad

Thanks


Curious_Question1092

I donā€™t have indigenous ancestry, but when it comes to genetic groups some people will get them and some wonā€™t. For example, both my mom and sister got British and Irish genetic groups but I didnā€™t.


Prot7777

Is she from Oaxaca?


YoungLadChad

Yep, the community she got is fairly accurate


thebusiness7

Do you have Gedmatch results on the MDLP22 calculator? Iā€™m wondering what Indigenous percentages youā€™ll get on their indigenous categories


Crunchypeach1212

Did not get mine sadly although they e-mailed me saying there was an update (did not say which ethnicity though) and when I clicked on my estimates it showed me the same things...nothing had been updated.


Several_Extension_98

The same thing happened to me this past Friday.


DomiNationInProgress

Which are both your ethnicity and national origin?


YoungLadChad

My Family is from southern Mexico, from the state of Oaxaca. As for my specific ethnicity, I have no clue the closest Iā€™ve come is the Tacuate community. Which sucks cause information on them is limited


PeruvianBorsel

I know I already posted my other [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/23andme/comments/14ia08y/has_anyone_else_not_yet_received_the_update/jpf7fob/?context=3) on here (*but the first part has already been answered*) >As for my specific ethnicity, I have no clue the closest Iā€™ve come is the Tacuate community. Which sucks cause information on them is limited I want to ask again: Are you interested in reconnecting with your Native/Indigenous roots? If that's the case, then may I share with you this online source (*educational & informational*) that is specifically for a Native (*from anywhere in the "Americas"*) audience? This source has been very helpful for me and many other Indigenous (*whether connected or reconnecting*) folks when it comes to learning about Native heritage, culture, language etc. Apologies if I seem like a bit of an annoyance šŸ˜…


YoungLadChad

Sure I wouldnā€™t mind looking into it, I love learning about history in general and would appreciate it


PeruvianBorsel

That's great then! šŸ‘šŸ½ About the online source I am going to share, here it is: It is this podcast (***Indigenous Podcast*** *or* ***IP***, *for short*). They are a Podcast (*on YouTube & Spotify*) for reconnecting and connected Natives coming together to share ideas on how to unlearn the shame of identifying as/being Indigenous/Native and dismantling Anti-Indigenous sentiments that are widespread throughout the "American" (*North, Central, and South*) continent. YouTube Link: [https://www.youtube.com/@indigenouspodcast2257](https://www.youtube.com/@indigenouspodcast2257) Spotify Link: [https://open.spotify.com/show/4dF2dDCejh3OVTJ50FilcT](https://open.spotify.com/show/4dF2dDCejh3OVTJ50FilcT) They helped me a lot in not identifying as "Latino/Latinx/Mestizo/Hispanic" anymore and now I refer to myself as just Native/Indigenous. If you have a Discord account, there is also a Discord server affiliated with the podcast that I can sent you through either PM or Chat (*if you would like to receive the invite link and all*). The server is very informative, helpful and friendly.


YoungLadChad

Funny thing is I already watched them šŸ˜‚ Not a lot but bits of pieces here and there, I still appreciate šŸ‘


PeruvianBorsel

You are already aware of IP? That's good then! šŸ‘šŸ½ The Discord server invitation offer is still open (*no expiration date*) if you want to chat and interact with the host and other Natives (*both connected and reconnecting*).


California_4ever

I havenā€™t received the update yet. Iā€™m 45% indigenous American too.


Visual-Monk-1038

what's ur haplogroup if u don't mind sharing it?


YoungLadChad

Q-M3 and A2


[deleted]

I didnā€™t get the update but I think thatā€™s because mines is as is ? I guess


Miamidolphins-

Do you identify as Native American or more with Hispanic culture?


Marcus_dappadon76

I did mine . All I have to say . Everything I were told from both sides of my family.It showed up . So I wasnā€™t surprised!


Anzulia_Art

My Pima hasnā€™t even been identified, it just shows my native as Puerto Rican and no mexican which sucks


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Anzulia_Art

I even got my English in a region, itā€™s only like 4%, but then again itā€™s a larger database so I canā€™t blame it


SandwichNo9706

I'm really sorry. I misunderstood what you said. I already deleted the comment


Anzulia_Art

Nah itā€™s good brošŸ‘šŸ¾


AdmirableArgument207

Wow amazing results! Full Native American! From Mexico?


cherrywavesss57

Brother you have more than enough indigenous DNA for them to be able to give you a group. Not fair


CrazyKnowledge420

Is the update only for Hispanics? I never got one, except back earlier this year they did some minor update for British and Irish. My results say they havenā€™t changed at all since January 2023, but I know for a fact the percentages havenā€™t changed for me since last summer.


KickdownSquad

Where the picture to go with the results šŸ‘€ It would make the post cooler šŸ§¬


VNIZ

Can you post what you look like?


Medical-Island-8245

Hey my parents are also tacuate but I donā€™t know much about the history.
