Does any one know if a simple Blood test can determine weather you have Aboriginal in you.. How can you find out if you are Aboriginal...
 
Confirmation of Aboriginality
The Aboriginal Land Rights Act states that to be a member of a Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) you must be an Aboriginal person. The definition of an Aboriginal person, as defined by the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, is a person who:

· is of Aboriginal descent.

· identifies as an Aboriginal person, and

· is accepted by the Aboriginal community in which he/she lives

I would imagine a DNA test would tell. They have those tests you can pay $200 for & it traces your DNA back to the origin, several generations back. That would tell if you are Aboriginal.

Or, they could compare your mRNA to a sample from Aborigines & see the extent it matches.
