R1b and Native Americans

[Cresswell444]

If I understand correctly, the Ojibwe are geographically linked to the "Old Copper Complex", and the "Hopewell tradition". Do such linkages also exist for other Native American tribes with elevated percentages of hgs R/X2?

Maybe I am getting ahead of myself but my father was X2c1 and his niece who carries it is one of only two testers who share an SNP with Filipinos and Taiwanese people MtDNA F and B. Goodness know when contact was made but even I see Beringia on deep dive DNA tests and find myself linked to Selkups, Inkeri and Sami samples. Plus I am a top ten match to some MtDNA I females and and a top ten match to an I2a male in Lithuania that lived in 5,800 BC.
Most of my ancestors are the typical Celts/Gaels/Germanic groups other than a cluster of I2a Picts on Orkney. The Baltic ones do stand out so I feel they are linked to my X2c1 ancestors. Obviously in the Americas the X2 are different subclades but we are talking ancient history here.

The more I learn about genetics's, the more confused I get. Many native tribes in the America's have a large percentage of the R1b haplogroup. This seems to be the only European haplogroup that made its way to the across the Atlantic. Any one have an opinion on this?

They say it’s post European settlement as it is predominantly M269 common in Western Europe. However my husband gets M269 and his male line is Ashkenazi. It does turn up in the Levant as a minority and it’s a seperate branch.
I get linked to Native Americans. Just tiny amounts. My paternal grandmother was X2c1 which is generally seen as a wholly European subclade of MtDNA X but I do get links to Beringia and the Baltic. My X2c1 cousin shares a couple of markers with East Asian populations.
I suppose the way to tell for sure if you were Native American is to do Y700 and see if you have any Y DNA matches in say Ireland or Iberia. See how far you are from your archaic samples.

The presence of R1b in modern Native Americans is best explained by European male admixture after the Columbian contact period. No reliable genetic evidence for a pre-Columbian presence of R1b in the Americas. The most common and considered typically indigenous Pre-Columbian Native American Y-DNA haplogroup is the Q (especially Q-M3). The most common mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups among Native Americans are A2, B2, C1, D1, and X2a. The academic consensus is that all male and female haplogroups have arrived in America from northeast Asia via Beringia during the initial migrations into the Americas (~15,000–20,000 years ago).
