“In 2022, FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA), one of the major genetic testing companies, released their database of the results of their 200,000+ male Y chromosome testers. FTDNA did not report the Native American nation or First Nation affiliation for each of their testers. Instead, they simply identified the country of residence—e.g., United States, Canada, Mexico, etc. Included in the FTDNA database were results for haplogroup Q. The database also included results for another branch found in Native Americans and Central Asians, haplogroup C. Today, haplogroup C can be found on several continents, but especially in northern Eurasia (Figure 27). In the Americas, it tends to be found at its highest levels in North America”

“The first sachem who led them from Asia into Akomen was White Eagle. After White Eagle, the Red Record lists around 96 sachems,17 ending with Watching Closely. If we multiply the number of sachems by the years-per-sachem in the previous paragraph,18 the first arrival in Akomen appears to have been in the range of A.D. 522 to A.D. 746.This overlaps the timing of the haplogroup Q arrival in the New World (i.e., A.D. 300s to 600s). It’s not a perfect overlap, but it’s enough to connect the Algonquians to the haplogroup Q migration.”
