It's from various tribes, and I was raised in the dominant "white" culture of America so I don't go around claiming any tribal connections (with such a mix, I likely won't qualify for membership status anyway).

And really, I have no idea what else is hanging around in my background. One of these days I want to have a test done to see what melting pot my ancestors gave me.

I'm glad you said ethnicity rather than race, because I consider all human beings to be one race.
