About 21% of all people share the A allele. The highest frequencies of A are found in small, unrelated populations, especially the Blackfoot Indians of Montana (30-35%), the Australian Aborigines (many groups are 40-53%), and the Lapps, or Saami people, of Northern Scandinavia (50-90%).  The A allele apparently was absent among Central and South American Indians. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rhesusnegative.net\/themission\/bloodtypefrequencies\/tribes\/blackfoot\/\" target=\"_blank\">Distribution of Blood Types<\/a> leaves out other groups high in A blood:<br \/>\nThe Andamanese are around 60% blood type A. The Armenians 50%. And the Assyrians are also worth mentioning.<br \/>\nIt should also be mentioned that <strong>82% blood type A amongst Blackfoot Indians<\/strong> has been claimed in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hashkafah.com\/index.php?\/topic\/15015-blood-type-associated-with-jewish-heritage\/\" target=\"_blank\">other sources<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe same sources state that 17% were blood type O and 1 percent AB.<br \/>\nThis makes little sense, but does indicate a possibility of a pure A ancestry amongst the Blackfoot.<\/p>\n<p>So are and were Blackfoot Indians high in rhesus negative blood?<br \/>\nThere are no indications that they were. I have previously shown the claim that Cherokees were and are high in rh negative blood to be a 100 percent fabrication. This one will likely turn out to be the same.
