My college puts out a Faculty reference guide every year, so that community and media can find an expert from the University on whatever timely topic they want to report on and need an expert opinion. Apparently she was listed in a similar reference at her university, as being specifically a native american minority. It sounds like I would have as much claim to this as she (as would probably half of us on this forum), and I’d be embarrassed if I were listed as such.

Yes, I agree and expounded probably a bit too much in an earlier discussion with Mrebo (last page or so) that while all of her specific factual claims about her family history appear to be supported by the test, that it was either misguided or wrong of her to ever imply that the tiny fractional ancestry was particularly relevant. But again, that’s a different (and better) argument than “she made it all up”.
