I am a jamaican and my maternal grandmother is an obvious stereotypical native indian. I've always questioned my heritage.My father's family is from Scotland. Started with the Moors. When I look at these people I see the same exact features and mannerisms as my father,uncles,aunts,cousins and so forth.Provides a lot to some unanswered questions.Puts tears to my eyes. There truly is no denial.
