Your DNA test said 0% Native American—but that number might be misleading. Many people are being told they have no Indigenous ancestry when their DNA proves otherwise. In this video, I’ll show you exactly where to look for the real evidence that your test didn’t highlight—because your Native ancestry might still be there, hidden in plain sight.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
