Who are Apache people with a European-mixed profile?

Apache peoples are Indigenous peoples of the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico, including communities with distinct histories across Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and surrounding regions. The European-mixed label means this reference includes Apache/Native American-related ancestry together with European-related ancestry.

Apachean languages belong to the Southern Athabaskan branch, while English is widely used today. This page is a mixed-profile genetic reference, not a full description of all Apache people or unmixed Apache ancestry.

As a genetic reference, Apache European-mixed is useful for comparison with Choctaw European-mixed, Ponca European-mixed, Cocopah European-mixed, Mandan-Arikara-Hidatsa European-mixed, Yanesha Mestizo profiles, Tulalip, Sioux Lakota European-mixed, Mexican Amerind profile, and Totonac Mestizo low-res.

What is Apache European-mixed DNA closest to?

In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Apache with a European-mixed profile is closest to Choctaw European-mixed, Ponca European-mixed, Cocopah European-mixed, Mandan-Arikara-Hidatsa European-mixed, Yanesha High Selva Mestizo profile, Yanesha Intermediate Selva Mestizo profile, Tulalip, Sioux Lakota European-mixed, Mexican Amerind profile, and Totonac Mestizo low-res. The result reflects Native American and European-related mixed-profile similarity.

Apache (European-Mixed) genetics FAQ

Is Apache European-mixed the same as unmixed Apache DNA?

No. This reference is explicitly European-mixed, so it includes both Native American-related and European-related ancestry.

Why do other tribes with European-mixed labels match Apache European-mixed?

European admixture can make different Indigenous North American mixed profiles overlap in G25 space.

Why do Mexican and Totonac mixed profiles appear nearby?

They can share Native American and European-related ancestry proportions with this Apache European-mixed reference.
