Hi,
I am looking for studies, statistics, census, historical cites, and particularly genetic studies about the degree of American Indian admixture in white americans. I am interested in white American-Native admixture only, because that was the dominant group that colonized the country, and I would like to find out how many natives managed to insert into that society sucessfully.
I am trying to figure it out how many Natives escaped genocide or expulsion to the west by assimilating and mixing with the pioneer population of the ealy colonies of the United States.
Why? Because I am trying to find out if there was mass admixture in the British colonies like it happened anywhere else in the Americas, Canada included. And that is needed to clarify if there was an actual genocide in East North America or there was something else going on there.
I have seen certain studies that declare that 6% of the White American population do have Native Ancestry, and I believe the actually figure somewhere between 6 and 15% of the genetical makeup, but I need more solid studies. But I am certain that Pocahontas children were not the only ones that assimilated to the white settler society at all.
Any help, will be appreciated. Historical and genetical refferences are welcomed, and personal experiences, particularly from the East coast, are welcome too.
Thanks,
