Both Namus and the ddp say she was of “uncertain race”. Does that mean they just don’t know whether she’s native american or hispanic (which have been given as 2 possibilities by other sources), or that other ethnicities/races are possible as well?

I think so. 103.1 cm is a really good match. The match is possibly a 2nd cousin.Quite a few people have Native American DNA in their ancestry but aren't members of any tribe. In my case, I don't even know where it could have come from--probably one of my maternal grandfather's maternal grandparents. I certainly don't claim to be "part Native American."
@Liv27, I'm trying to understand what those numbers mean. Hypothetically speaking--if this woman who would be roughly my age were to turn out to be related to me through that connection (shared great-great-grandparent), what number would that show up as? Am I correct that we'd be third cousins?

If I understand it correctly, bigger numbers mean a bigger segment of shared DNA. The more shared DNA, the closer the familial match.The bigger the number, the closer the relationship?
