cliffmiller Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 So, my question is, can a half native american child have red hair and green eyes? I know some native americans do have green eyes, but as red hair is a bit tricky genetically, since people born with it are usually described as being more pale than people with other hair colors and native americans aren't, in my experience, pale.

Dresden Ceriano Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I see no reason why a child with a Native American parent couldn't have red hair and green eyes. Genetics are strange... it's very possible that red hair and blues eyes could come about with neither parent having been endowed with those attributes, simply because, somewhere down the line of their ancestry, someone with whom their ancestors bore offspring had those genetic traits. Regardless, in Second Life, genetics plays no part and you can create any sort of character you wish.. even a red-haired, green-eyed Native American. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Red hair as well as green or hazel eyes run in my family and always show up every other generation without fail regardless of the genetics of the parent who married into the family. Not every child born in the effected generation has these attributes, but there are always a few of them among the siblings or cousins. Of those that have it, not all of them have the pale skin and freckles traditionally thought to come with it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbie Faulds Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I had a friend in RL who had one parent with red hair and green eyes, the other was a Hawaiian native. He had red hair and beard as well a green eyes with a goldon skin tone...very striking combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aislin Ceawlin Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Im not half Native American, but I did have a great grandmother who was 100% Cherokee. I have a brother and sister who are darker skinned, darker hair, and tan like crazy during the summer....then there is me. Red hair, fair skin, and I'm like a fork in a microwave on the beach in the summer. I don't tan...I'm the palest one in the group, and I also have hazel/green eyes, where my sibs have deep brown. Genetics are a funny thing! Both my parents had blue black hair, my mother had the hazel eyes, my father had blue, so go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LlazarusLlong Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Since the general definition of "Native American" is vague and historically ambiguous (it covers all the "original" inhabitants of North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean and other islands), and there are over 50 "specific" (as implied here of North American Indians) legal definitions, added to which DNA testing of those who claim "100% true-blood" has revealed up to 60% European/African/Asian heritage, which is unsurprising given that the dual continent was largely poulated by emigres over the land bridge where the Bering Straits now exists, then the OP's question would appear moot, if not disingenuous. It might make a good programme for Oprah/Dr Phil though . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
