      No, the other ancestors are all native American. Obviously the child stayed in the native to community.

        If the child stayed in the native community wouldn’t that imply that they would likely grow up to have a child with someone else in that community? And that their descendants would be more than half a percent native genetically?

          Uhh yes, sorry. I had it the other way around. Perhaps a native american then raped/had child with a caucasian, who kept the child?

            That’s certainly a possibility, but it doesn’t seem like the most likely explanation to me.
