Racial Science, Blood, and DNA
Racial Science, Blood, and DNA
Chapter 1 defines “Native American DNA,” explains genetic ancestry tests, and defines the “DNA profile” used in tribal enrollment. It traces biological “race” as rooted in 19th-century science and “Indian blood” rooted in 19th-century policy, arguing that DNA and blood should not be conflated in relation to Native American identity.
