The DNA testing company said the man's test results were 'like finding bigfoot.'

, Bardill emphasized that tribes are sovereign nations that can make their own calls on how, or if, to use DNA testing.Bardill is Cherokee. Cherokee DNA testing was a hot topic earlier this year with Sen.. Her results showed she had a Native American ancestor going back six to 10 generations ago. That only makes her 1/32-1/1024th Native though.

Her enrollment in the Canadian side of the tribe would expand eligibility to some grandchildren who aren’t eligible for tribal membership in the United States because their parents don’t have enough Blackfeet blood. Crawford married a white woman, Irish and German, from Valier. She's a school psychologist on the reservation. They have six children and 15 grandchildren.

Yet the DNA test results also can shape how Crawford's descendants think about themselves. He hopes they, like he, are proud of their Native heritage.

Idk if the earth is 6,000 yrs old as some interpret Bible to say or older, but since Dusty has very old DNA tracing back in this Land, I say we ask HIM what should be done with our country moving froward - He's got Dibs!! Dusty if you see this & are on Twitter - Let us know!!

Fantastic! Ok I will buy you a beer! Now for the next 17 k years!

Very interesting, but I'm hesitant to have my DNA examined for fear that it will end up in the wrong hands or be misused. Technology is getting scary. We now have the tools to profile every person on the planet.
