DeneCaucasian

DeneCaucasian is a term used to describe a hypothetical or fictional group of people who are believed to be a mixture of Dene (also known as Athabaskan) and Caucasian (European) ancestry. The concept of DeneCaucasian people is often discussed in the context of historical and cultural interactions between indigenous Dene peoples and European settlers in North America. This term is not widely recognized or used in academic or anthropological literature, and its validity as a distinct ethnic or racial group is debated. Some proponents of the DeneCaucasian concept argue that it reflects the mixed ancestry of many indigenous peoples in North America, while others view it as a problematic and essentialist categorization. The term is sometimes used in popular culture and media to represent a blend of indigenous and European identities, but it lacks a clear definition and is not supported by genetic or anthropological evidence.
