I know we have lots of native people on here but...

My father was 1/4 Ojibwe Indian. That makes me 1/8? My dad had a very "indian" nose. I have a few Native American features, but I am a mix as well.

My Great Grandmother was full Creek Indian from right where I live now.

I have.....oh, what is it called...shovel teeth or something? I had no clue until recently that not everyone had teeth that curve like mine. Funny, I guess I just never held anyone down and checked the inside of their teeth.

OMG! I have shovel teeth!

I guess like most others with pioneer roots my family has been cross-bred with American Indians.

My grandfather who was born around 1900 said we were part indian but there is no proof and no mention of what kind. Too bad they can't trace paternal genes.

But, wow, learned something new about myself today...!

Please describe shovel teeth? I never heard of it but I sure do heard of parrot mouth!

My 5 greats Granmother was from what used to be the Pecos indians of NM. Apparently they mixed with the Hemez people and the Pecos tribe no longer exists

. Oh well. Im just proud to be part Native American

Shovel teeth are flat on the front but if you look at theback (inside) of the tooth (only the front 4 top and bottom) it curves like a spoon or a shovel. European teeth are flat on the back and don't have the curve.

Hey! My teeth are like that. Great, now I'm going to be staring at peoples teeth whenever they talk.

My adopted daughter is half Lakota. We're hoping to take her on a trip to South Dakota to see tribe one of these days. In the meantime she is learning about her heritage.

^ What she said, and I would like to add....that there is also a ridge along the top at the gumline. My ridges are so big that they rest on my tongue when my mouth is closed and leave an indention.
