    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.
