Sorry, this is not true with regard to matching relatives.
The results for where you come from in the world might not be as reliable because they require a good reference data base for comparison. I will have to go back and look, but I believe Native American is in the same bucket as South American, Eskimo and maybe even Pacific Islander. The distinction between northern and Southern Europeans can be made because of all the tests that have been done.
The place they got into trouble was predicting health outcomes based on essentially survey data from others in the data base. FDA shut that down. Not the ancestory part.

Dear God I wish Trump would write her a $950 check and tweet about it.

So instead of calling her Pocahontas, she should be called Senorita Warren.

Yeah, the Boston paper just issued the correction to 1/1024.
I hope Trump writes a check of 1/1024th of the million dollars to Warrens charity

The guy who did the test looks like a huge flaming progressive

Always thought she was a Navajo but latest test reveals she's just a plain old ho!

Wasn’t there a big scandle were these DNA companies were just making shite up?
I wouldn't be surprised
My brother did one and I think it said that 100% of our heritage is from England or something
And we know that's definitely not the case

So they updated their correction again.
Originally the article said she might be between 1/32 and 1/512 native american and now it is saying she might be between 1/64 and 1/1,024 native american.

Correction: Due to a math error, a story about Elizabeth Warren misstated the ancestry percentage of a potential 6th to 10th generation relative. The generational range based on the ancestor that the report identified suggests she’s between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American.
