==Genetic testing==
In 2007, DNA testing was conducted on material from the teeth of Demasduit and her husband [[Nonosabasut]]. The results assigned them to [[Haplogroup X (mtDNA)]] and [[Haplogroup C (mtDNA)]], respectively, which are also found in current [[Mi'kmaq]] populations in Newfoundland.<ref name="Kuch">{{cite journal | url=http://www.sjdimond.us/document/2007_Extinct%20Beothuk.pdf |last=Kuch |first=M |year=2007 |title = A preliminary analysis of the DNA and diet of the extinct Beothuk: A systematic approach to ancient human DNA |journal =American Journal of Physical Anthropology |volume=132 |issue=4 |pages=594–604 |doi=10.1002/ajpa.20536 |display-authors=etal |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150214202135/http://www.sjdimond.us/document/2007_Extinct%20Beothuk.pdf |archive-date=2015-02-14 |url-status=dead |pmid=17205549}}</ref><ref name="Pope">{{cite journal |url=https://www.mun.ca/biology/scarr/Pope%2C_Carr%2C_Smith%2C_%26_Marshall_2011_Genome_54%2C110.pdf |last=Pope |first=A |year=2011 |title=Mitogenomic and microsatellite variation in descendants of the founder population of Newfoundland: high genetic diversity in an historically isolated population |journal=Genome |volume=54 |issue=2 |pages=110–119 |doi=10.1139/g10-102 |pmid=21326367 |access-date=2020-01-30 |archive-date=2021-04-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411020057/http://www.mun.ca/biology/scarr/Pope%2C_Carr%2C_Smith%2C_%26_Marshall_2011_Genome_54%2C110.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
