A member asked:

Can a dna test tell me how much native american indian i have in me an what type?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There is no distinctive genotype that identifies native American vs other people that we term races. And there is no test to distinguish one tribe from another. There is such admixture between whites and Native Americans that any distinction would probably have been "washed out" already.
