I am Native American -- can you tell me my original tribe?

Unless your mother is Native American, meaning her mother (and her mother and hers on and on) was of maternal type A, B, C, D, E or X, rarely U or J), we recommend the {CAT:DNA Fingerprint Test], which excels at finding ancestry hidden in your family tree or hard to detect. At any rate, we usually can’t tell you what group of modern-day Indians you might belong to, except in a general way. With some tests, we can identify what ancient lineages your Y-chromosome or mtDNA matches are and provide you with an analysis of the gene frequency for your in modern-day tribes. For instance, many Athapascan groups are almost purely haplotype A. Haplotype B is common among the Cherokee, Hopi and other Pueblo Indians; C among Mexican Indians; and X among the Ojibwe. Recent researchers, however, have suggested that only about 10% of SNPs or mutations in Native DNA are tribally specific. Many tribal groups have never been studied.
