Mitochondrial DNA doesn't reproduce with the normal genome, so it's not like her "native american" DNA could have somehow migrated to it. I'm not really sure of the methodology used here but 0.1% sequence similarity or whatever this is is probably unimportant.

That said for the sake of an argument, it's definitely possible to have had a native american ancestor and their genes just migrate naturally out their ancestors over time. Should take more than a few generations but if you think about it, first ancestor is 50% and it halves each generation until it's basically nothing. If we're talking recent though like five generations back then no way, should still be like 3%.
