Those legends encourage people to take DNA tests to shed light on the stories and discover the identity of Native American ancestors.

Estes starts by discussing how DNA works, how much of your native ancestor's DNA you might expect to inherit, and how to find that DNA.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 136-137) and index,.Only four countries around the world do not currently define themselves as democracies. But many more do not fulfil the four basic requirements of democracy: free and fair elections, active participation of citizens in politics, protection of human rights, and the rule of law. Since 2015, far-right and populist politicians have been on the rise throughout the West. Is populism the new face of democracy? Is democracy simply the will of the people? Can any existing government claim to be truly democratic? This captivating, articulate volume explores and interrogates each form of democracy and questions whether they remain fit for purpose today.
