You most certainly are living within the DNA of the Original People. Everyone in "America" is, its woven into the fabric of the land as they/we have been here since time immemorial, we eat their DNA in our food, we wear it in our home grown fabrics. I used to say "gross" to this thought, but now I realize how infinitely beautiful it is.

Arizona is where my people were from, one of their trade routes went through Arizona, New Mexico and California - that's how my maternal grandparents ended up in this area. The Yaqui people, some of the cousins are still alive and well and on the reservation. Lots of us other cousins are also alive and well, just simply not recognized.
