I don't know, I think it would be good to acknowledge all parts of their roots. We Acadians are proud of our European and Amerindian roots. Probably most Acadians are more towards the European side (I am genetically, and so are those I share with on 23andme) but we acknowledge that Amerindians contributed to and had a profound impact on our culture, so we have Amerindian as well as European roots, even though we're European genetically.

I see the similarity between Acadiasn and PR jibaro people, majority of Jibaros are pred Euro but with native gene input and also culturally Jibaros are pred euro but with some Taino influence.
