It has to be a mistake. I think it's not native American, but ANE instead.

Y-DNA hg. R1* evolved somewhere on the Iranian Plateau.


Hg. R* is related to hg. Q*. And Hg. Q is part of (Mongoloid) folks in the East.

According to Wikipedia/haplogroup Q, outside of North America the haplogroup is commonly found Among Ket, Turkic Tribes and has been reported among Mesolithic European Russians and Modern Scandinavians.

The Native American genes could very well be a proxy to any of the above cultures I just listed; unless if I missed anybody.

Its also worth noting that some Native Americans; like Pocahontas were immigrants into Europe back in the Early modern period.

Well thats interesting. I just found a native American (at least thats whats written) at a genetic distance of 1..........how can this be possible when the other 12 (1 genetic difference) of came from the UK, Germany, 2 Italy, one from Lebanon and other from Greece? - Strange

colors of ANE and East Asian is totally different on the Map.
And also see the tons of authors, I think there would be no mistake:
