14. Does that include First Nations people?

Sun Mar 1, 2026, 08:00 PM

Sunday

I have Seneca heritage from my father's mother. The Seneca nation is in the US, but I have been trying to track down one branch of her family that I have long thought was Mohawk in origin from a Mohawk village in Canada. My research points in that direction but I have not yet found documentation to substatiate it. If I do, would that qualify me?
