I am an American Indian. There is no such thing as a princess in our nations. We run our nations by a system of chiefdoms.My uncles were chieves;their daughters were not "princesses",but they have run for the office of chief!

Answer 8

Why does almost everyone who claims to be part Native American descend from an Indian princess particularly when a council of elders elected the chief?  You may have an ancestor who was a daughter of a chief, but she wasn't a princess--the reason being that no Native American tribe in the United States ever had an hereditary monarchy.

Wikipedia notes, "The American Indian 'princess' is a false concept, derived from the application of European concepts to Native Americans as also seen in the naming of war chiefs as kings."

Answer 9

The ancestors of the American Indians immigrated over the Bering-Passage, so they´re rather related to the Mongols and to the Chinese.

Maybe you have the blood of Dshingis Khan in you or of the Chinese emperor Qin Shihuang?

The American Indians were given this name erroneously by Europaean explorers hoping to find a Western Passage to India.
