39% Native American - 10 Tribes?

39% Native American - 10 Tribes?

Surnames: Pesina, Pizana, Duron, Muniz
I recently uploaded my AncestryDNA raw data file to gedmatch.com and I was quite surprised by my results. I see a large mix of several Native American tribe names on this list. I did a little bit of Google researching and it's some very cool stuff. Can you guys give me a little feedback on what you see here and maybe just some ideas about the results?

I guess you're pretty much Mexican?

The problem with using GEDmatch Oracles is that it may work for someone who is admixed. If you are, then good. From the choice of 1 population, it just identified as Mexican. Not sure if other Latinos, particularly of the Caribbean would get something more specific to their geographic area or not.

So as you choose more populations, it tries to guess the different ethnicities your DNA consist of, but that's just a guess.
