Mongolian or Mi'kmaq Heritage?

In my family tree research I have found a little bit of information that indicates that there may be some Mongolian in my family. I have not found any specific names linked to Mongolians, however, some of my family members do have facial traits which clearly do not appear to be English or Irish. Perhaps it is Mi'kmaq I am seeing? I know that Julia frequented Bay St George, Newfoundland and that there were numerous Mi'kmaq families in the area at that time, including surnames Jesso, Benoit, Alexander, Sheppard, Blanchard, Quick, Morris, Madore, Delaney, LeBlanc, Morel, Butt, Cutler, etc.

I find this idea very interesting. Take a look at the features in some of the faces below and let me know what you think. If you know the connection, I would love more information.
