My great grandparents used to live close enough to the Sioux on their farm in South Dakota to hear the drums one hundred years ago now.
The type A blood is interesting, if it is correct in its prediction.
Thanks a lot! :) A really excellent video based on the files which I sent you!
I like the introduction part of the video which pays respect to Sioux history!

Edit:
I tried to replicate the same model which Andrei proposed using G25 coordinates, the result is similar:

So they are about 37% ANE and around 63% Paleolithic North-East Asian.
And also they are about 59% descended from the very first wave of Paleo-Amerindian settlers and 41% from a later wave.

I think it is interesting that both of them scored high for odds of alcoholism.
And we know that alcoholism is one of problems affecting Native Americans.
Not the Sioux, but yes there was a myth perpetuated that we have Cherokee, from another set of great grandparents. They lived in Indian territories in Oklahoma. It turned out to be disproven. If there is a native, it must be so far back as to have too little contribution to show up in our DNA results.
Yeah lots of Mexicans who migrate to the U.S. claim to be Native, but they can't enroll in U.S. tribes because they are from Mexican tribes. BTW here is a good website about Native Mexicans - www.indigenousmexico.org/.
Cherokee are a common myth due to their location (before the Trail of Tears) and early 1800s settlement patterns:
https://i.ibb.co/FbsKsK34/IMG-2416.webp
The branch of my family that claimed to have Cherokee lived in East Tennessee a few generations earlier, in Sevier county, where a lot of violent conflict arose between the mountain settlers and Cherokee. A lot of these families were huge and later went west, like mine, and so many, many white Americans have been told they have a, “Cherokee” ancestor.
The role of the Applachian mountains in American history and current culture is immense.
I don’t understand the Blackfoot, maybe someone else here does, but I have heard it from black people before. Geographically, it doesn’t add up.

But if we use Kennewick Man instead of Spirit Cave, then already much less of Beringian is required:

So Kennewick was already largely descended from the 2nd wave. It shows that this 2nd wave was very ancient.Code:USA_WA_Kennewick.SG,0.045529,-0.307705,0.107857,0.079781,-0.104019,-0.019243,-0.22373,-0.263758,-0.013294,-0.01549,0.00065,-0.004796,0,0.014863,-0.009229,0.01074,0.006258,0.010515,0.009804,0.003252,0.004118,-0.00779,-0.006039,0.003012,-0.003473

Maybe, or it could be intertribal contact with the Stockbridge-Munsee since their relocation to Wisconsin? They are part of the Algonquin language family, whereas the Crow and the Sioux are both of the Siouan language family together. It’s interesting to see, the Shawnee are also of the Algonquin language tree:

I just sent Andrei a Choctaw sample for another video! :)
I have a feeling that they will have pretty different results than the Sioux.
An ANE ranking with all available Amerind groups would be noice
After Clovis and Spirit Cave-like Indians ate all of the megafauna their population declined a lot and that's when Beringians migrated south from Alaska and assimilated remnants of the Spirit Cave-like population.
That was around 10,000 years ago when that 2nd wave migrated south.
Agreed, I’d love to see that.
I also wanted to mention a video I saw recently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh2EMUFg52g
It’s about the native Patagonians in southern Argentina and Chile. The YouTuber usually focuses on indigenous groups further north, including those in Siberia and Alaska, but in this video, he points out how rarely the Indigenous peoples of the far south are discussed. Sadly, much of that is due to the fact that they were essentially wiped out in acts of genocide. Although their genetics live on one way or another.
These native groups were remarkably resilient, living in extremely harsh, cold climates (not nearly as intense as far north america though). They are believed to be almost entirely descended from the first peoples to arrive in the Americas. The YouTuber highlights how unique their history is and says they really deserve a show of their own.
