The Indigenous Triangulated Group Research File

The complete evidence behind the chromosome 8 case
Quebec & Minnesota Records  ·  DNA Triangulation Worktable  ·  Two Documented Ojibwe Arms  ·  Password Protected

This research file holds the full evidentiary foundation for the chromosome 8 Indigenous DNA case — the source inventory, the document images, the triangulation worktable, and the working notes on the still-open common-ancestor question. Because the segment connects a present-day Mille Lacs family and living DNA test-takers, this granular material is kept in a password-protected archive for family members and research collaborators, while the conclusions and methodology remain freely available on the public case study.

A Note on Privacy

This case touches living people — a present-day Mille Lacs family and several living DNA test-takers. Their recent generations, kit identifiers, and personal match data are not shown on any public page, and are held here only for those with a direct family or research connection. The published case study refers to all living individuals by relationship or initials. We are grateful to the collaborators who shared their family knowledge, and we steward it accordingly.
