Aslı Muzde took the test in an attempt to learn whether she was genetically predisposed to getting cancer.

“But about ethnicity, I learned that I was 73 percent Central Asian. But the other distributions surprised me. Because I learned I had Italian and Greek blood, but what struck me most was learning that I have between 1 to 2 percent Native American blood,” she said.

“I became more interested about the problems of Native Americans,” Muzde said. “You see that you are only arm’s length away from all the races. The blood running in our veins is connected to each other, therefore there is no such thing as us and them.”
