A focused population profile of Assiniboine people, their Northern Plains Indigenous background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
The Assiniboine, also called Nakoda, are an Indigenous people of the Northern Plains, historically connected to areas of present-day Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba. Their history is tied to Plains life, bison economies, alliances, movement, and relations with neighboring Siouan and Algonquian-speaking peoples.
Nakoda/Assiniboine is a Siouan language, while English is widely used today. This reference has a very small sample size, so it should be interpreted alongside broader Northern Plains and Indigenous North American pages.
As a genetic reference, Assiniboine is useful for comparison with Oji-Cree, Hopi, Navajo, Crow, Kiowa-Arapaho, Ojibwe, Sioux Lakota, Cree, Mandan-Arikara-Hidatsa, and Amerindian North.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Assiniboine is Oji-Cree. Other nearby references include Hopi, Navajo, Crow, and Kiowa-Arapaho. This gives the Assiniboine profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Assiniboine is best interpreted as an Indigenous North American profile, with Northern Plains context and broader overlap among Oji-Cree, Crow, Sioux Lakota, Cree, Ojibwe, Navajo, Hopi, and other references.
The heatmap should emphasize the Northern Plains, Montana, the Dakotas, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Great Lakes/Subarctic references, the Southwest, and Indigenous North American comparison zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Oji-Cree. Other nearby references include Hopi, Navajo, Crow, and Kiowa-Arapaho.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Oji-Cree is the closest listed match to the Assiniboine average after removing Assiniboine itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Assiniboine G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
