full-bloods
No mixed heritage
Full-bloods are people or animals of unmixed ancestry—having both parents from the same racial, ethnic, or breed group.
The term appears most often in discussions of Indigenous peoples and their legal status, where it historically determined rights and tribal membership: The reservation distinguished between full-bloods and mixed-bloods.
In animal breeding, a full-blood has purebred lineage on both sides.
The singular full-blood works as both noun and adjective: a full-blood Cherokee, full-blood cattle.
