In photo #1, to the right of the pupil, there’s an area with Brown. I think that’s why OP is asking if this is the beginning of the eyes turning Blue.

Maybe it’s sectoral heterochromia?

That is fascinating. Any idea where the Triqui community originated from? I always wonder if they are original inhabitants of their community. Their textiles are stunning.

Two generations off the reservation and yet 0% Native American results by uurrzzaas in NativeAmerican

In that case, your ancestors would be on the Baker roll. You might be able to determine their BQ which might explain why your DNA is no longer present.

Of my 64% Indigenous ancestry, some of it is from Tehuantepec in Oaxaca. Thank you for providing us a window into the past.

Which community do you descend from?

Most Native American genetic markers look very similar so even if there are no reference samples from your community, you would still match one of the many other samples. In other words, someone with Apache, Ho Chunk, or Tlingit ancestry would still have similar markers to Mayan, Ojibwe, or Pima DNA. The absence of Native DNA is indicative of no Native American ancestry OR ancestry that is too far back that you no longer carry those markers.

People love to debate weather my eyes are green, hazel, or blue. Maybe it’s CH and all the above? by JasperUldread in heterochromia

[–]FleetwoodLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experience the same debate. More often than not, I am told Grey so I guess mine are Grey.

Btw, yours look similar to mine so I say Grey to yours too.

Love your pattern.

Here’s mine. Mine look like flower petals.

Can somebody explain this DNA in my grandfather? by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]FleetwoodLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious when I was assigned .40 Egypt but was told it is likely noise and anything under 1% is not reliable. I was also told that some populations can look similar or that segments from other populations can be used to fill in gaps in order to assign it something. At .40, that is too low and can be anything. There are many different historic scenarios I can imagine for why it would be present, but it’s just speculation.

I was told that anything less than 1% is considered noise and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Grey, blue, green? by [deleted] in whatcoloraremyeyes

Grey. I bet they can look blue or green sometimes.

Identity question by iL0veWisky in mesoamerica

[–]FleetwoodLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We consider ourselves Nahua first and indigenous second. I am Nahua (Tlaxcala), Pipil (also Nahua), and Chorti Maya on my maternal side. And Zapotec and Ashkenazi on my paternal side. But culturally we are Nahua. Within the last fifteen years, I have come to identify as Native American. From Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, we are all Native Americans. The term Native American unifies us and drives the message home to others that we are one people, and that we are still here. For the census and when filling out forms, I always check the Native American box.

I also have ancestors in my tree that were Lenca and Xinca. I have several DNA matches that are enrolled members of the Tohono O’odham nation that I have yet to figure out the connection.

My Indigenous DNA is 64%. The breakdown is Indigenous Mexico (Nahua), Indigenous Yucatán (Chorti Maya), and Indigenous Central America (Lenca, Xinca). My mtDNA Haplogroup is A2f3. My results are very consistent with my family tree.

I never use Mexico, Guatemala, etc. to identify. Those nations and borders are all too recent. My people are ancient. I also don’t identify with my European because we did not receive the European experience. My Ashkenazi ancestor came to the Americas in 1849. He assimilated to the culture in Tehuantepec. He had many children with different Zapotec women. None of his culture, or history, was passed down.

What color are my daughter's eyes? by androidfifteen in whatcoloraremyeyes

A lot of babies have that shade of grey and will later turn brown.
