 Image Source: theconversation.com The Lakota phrase, "Mitakuye Oyasin," reminds us that "we are all related" and includes all living things: humans, plants, animals, and the Earth itself. From the following article we read, "In North America, sturgeon have played important subsistence and cultural roles in Native communities, which marked the seasons by the fishes’ behavioral patterns."
Think of how we are all related while reading, Przelomska, N., Kistler, L. (2025, March 20). "Atlantic sturgeon were fished almost to extinction − ancient DNA reveals how Chesapeake Bay population changed over centuries." The Conversation. https://theconversation.com/atlantic-sturgeon-were-fished-almost-to-extinction-ancient-dna-reveals-how-chesapeake-bay-population-changed-over-centuries-241104  The Acadian Amerindian Ancestry, the A haplogroup, and the A2 haplogroup projects with Family Tree DNA have registered the new, matching A2f1a1b haplogroup for matrilineal (mother-line) descendants of Anne Marie Mi'kmaq. The A2f1a1b mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup, to which matrilineal descendants of Anne Marie MI'kmaq now belong, is a brand new sub-branch of the A2f1a parent haplogroup. The refined, A2f1a1b mtDNA haplogroup designation adds to what we know about our connections to history and to each other, helps to distinguish Anne Marie Mi'kmaq's descendants from other lineages, and results from the latest, mitochondrial DNA "Tree of Humankind" update of March, 2025 (presently in BETA test).
