1) Could be a story, yes. They could have been Middle Eastern and Grandma was amusing the kids with her storytelling, stating that when her grandma let down her long, dark hair, and when her grandma put it into 2 braids, her grandma looked just like an Injun! What did all the 5 & 6 year old grandchildren hear? They heard grandma say that her grandma was an Indian.
2) 3% could also be considered static noise. He may be a smidge something else. Remember, the ethnicity percentages have made their way from an infant stage to a toddler stage. 3) American Indian just doesn't stick. Unless the ancestor was the testee's parent, grandparent, great, or 2 great, it seems to get lost in the wash. So a strict paternal descendant (if the Am. Ind. was male) or a strict maternal line descendant (if the Am. Ind. was female) would need to be tested with either YDNA or mtDNA.
