A Wikipedia article:

The Melungeon Heritage Association site:
Another good site about Metis or mixed Native/non-Native folks in general (with some US information, but a mainly Canadian focus):
hey Bushtick, well we do have several things in common, ridged teeth, toes etc, really interesting things when you think about how we pass on traits.
I have called 4 or 5 different females in our family all distantly related and they sounded exaxtly the same really spooky!
Hello Tom,
Yes it is like you say….spooky! Another trait that was passed through the males in my Collins line was very little body hair, mostly concerning the chest and legs. I wished growing up and even now, that I could have received that trait for my legs!!!
Also on my Mullins’s female line, mottled skin ( white spots ) . This shows up more on my olive/dark skinned siblings, although I do have them when I get some sun and tan a little.
I also have a mongolian spot on my lower buttock, about the size of an orange. I understand that most of them are on the middle to lower back???? Who knows??
Well not sure about the orange on the back, I used to put one in my navel until someone said I was supposed to use a cherry!
Hairy! well I’d try duct tape works for me! Who ever removes it has to jump high and while pulling down word yank it with a whipping motion! keep in mind no profanity and only moderate yelling is allowed!
Thanx for your reply !
My gosh Tom, I just can’t resist…did you use the duct tape to hold the orange in the navel? Oh goodness.
I have that second toe longer dealie too and the teeth..okay, my husband came up with this one..that ear wax is more flaky in native americans. I have very flaky in one ear..totally different than the other. Just wierd..and A negative blood.
Duct tape? Do you watch the Red Green show out of Canada? They’re funny.
Saj
Tom, you are so funny………..another use for duct tape. I shudder to think about that.
And Saj, I don’t know about the ear wax thing?? SOUNDS 🙂 , like he is pulling your leg.
I was wondering if the lack of much chest and leg hair was a NA trait or just a genetic thing from my Collins’s line. Of course it could be from the Scoolcraft ( German ) my Grandmothers line.
Bushtick;
Don’t count on it being your german side every german I have ever seen is so hairy it’s scary. 🙂
Linda
Well the orange just stuck there, lick it first then upply with a quick twist, usually hangs in for some time!
My ex brother inlaw is a Northern Blackfoot, he said that he had flacky ear wax too.. but he was rather flacky all over and a negative Blood! So who knows,… Germans on the other hand well the hair thing is kinda neat and a little kinky, “there’s nothing like a big woolly girl in winter” … really!
Smile…
