Interesting, except they measured for Mexicans, Columbians and Peruvians, which may not be the same as Native Americans. She may have more NA than average, but she ain’t NA like she’s claimed.

I tweeted about this yesterday. "Mexicans, Columbians and Peruvians" is someone's bullshit misunderstanding of a misunderstanding. They used Mexican and Canadian reference sets, almost certainly because modern Cherokee are highly admixed with European and African ancestry.pic.twitter.com/dRtFQ2yY7F

It is absolutely normal for genes to replicate geography on a PCA plot in the absence of mass migration & replacement, eg you can get a rough recreation of western Europe from Scandinavia to Italy and Spain to Germany just using a 2d PCA plot

So that plot is telling you the haplotype under analysis very likely came from an intermediate population, ie one between Mexico and Canada.

Interesting. But could also fit Mexican heritage, no?

It *could* fit a lot of things. But she's from Oklahoma, not Texas. That means Cherokee or other tribes forced to migrate under Indian Removal is most likely. There's no reason to think Mexican heritage.
