The result placed him within a specific haplogroup consistent with the known maternal-line diversity of Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast and subarctic interior.

His maternal-line DNA was characteristically American — consistent with long Indigenous presence in the region, and specifically consistent with the haplogroup distributions found in the communities of the area.

This result established, in the clearest possible biological terms, that Kwäday Dän Ts’ìnchi was Indigenous.

He was not a European visitor.

He was not from any Asian, African, or other non-American population.

His maternal lineage was rooted in the Indigenous Americas.
