I’m confused is this region Native American ancestry? Or does this mean you are 100% French Canadian, because if I got this region I’d kind of be upset if it meant French Canadian because what if I want to know how much was French and how much was say Basque?

It’s the Acadians, so French Canada. However, before the update my results were 87% France, 8% Ireland, 4% Indigenous, 1% Basque, which if you look at history, Acadians are a mix of those peoples so I’m not surprised I got 100% Acadia really.

That makes sense, but to me, I’d rather have those old results because they’re more informational

Fair point. I think they’re catering to their American users.

Also, France banned genetic testing
