Native American DNA Fingerprint Plus

The complete picture. It examines all your ancestral lines at once, Native and non-Native, to tell you which countries and ethnic groups your ancestors came from. You learn which tribes you have the most affinity with, which Native American markers you carry and how many of them, and whether they came from one parent or both. It also details any European, Middle Eastern, Jewish, African or Asian ancestry, with your top matches by European country, and includes the 18 Marker Ethnic Panel.

Native American ancestry other DNA tests miss

A general ancestry test gives you percentages and estimates. The Native American signal is usually the first thing it rounds away, and some of our customers have watched an update remove theirs altogether. DNA Consultants works the other way round. Your STR profile is compared, marker by marker, against the most sensitive Native American reference database on the market, with dedicated Native American markers and Cherokee reference populations built in house from our own studies.

Basic American Indian DNA Test

This is the entry point to American Indian ancestry testing, and it is a standalone test: it reports your indigenous matches only, not your complete ancestry. If what you want to settle is whether the family story holds up, this is the test that answers that question and nothing else.

Your DNA is compared against the most complete forensic database of indigenous populations available anywhere, including separate Cherokee reference groups (Enrolled, Admixed and Texas Cherokee) that were built in house from our own Cherokee DNA Studies. Shipping within the United States is free by FedEx Express.

What you receive with the Basic American Indian DNA Test

  • A certificate listing your tribal affinities in ranked order.
  • Where American Indian falls among your megapopulations.
  • An ethnic panel covering the Native American I and Native American II markers.
  • Open-ended customer service to answer your questions about the results.

Is this the right test to start with?

It is, if the question you want answered is specifically about American Indian ancestry. The Basic test is deliberately narrow: it will tell you which tribes you match and how strongly, and it will not tell you anything about your European, African, Middle Eastern or Asian lines.

You are not locked in. The Basic test can be extended later with a Mid Upgrade, without re-testing and without a second sample. And if you already know you want the whole picture from the start, go straight to the Native American DNA Fingerprint Plus, which examines every line at once.

Native American DNA Fingerprint Plus

This is the Native American version of our exclusive, best-selling DNA Fingerprint Test. It examines all your ancestral lines at once, Native and non-Native, including European ancestry, to tell you which countries and ethnic groups your ancestors came from.

Your 15 CODIS (STR) markers are compared against our atDNA 11.7 database, which DNA Consultants has been building since 2003. Anyone can take this test, male or female. Shipping within the United States is free by FedEx Express.

What your Native American DNA Fingerprint Plus report tells you

The tribes and population matches, markers and metapopulation frequency index confirm, within the limitations of our data:

  • What Indian tribes you have the most affinity with.
  • Which Native American markers you have and how many of them, plus whether you got Native American markers from one parent or both.
  • How common or rare your DNA profile is in American Indians.

The test and ethnic panel also detail any European, Middle Eastern, Jewish, African or Asian ancestry. You receive your top matches from different European countries or parts of countries, as well.

Once completed you get by email your personal DNA Fingerprint, a custom genetic history report prepared by our Investigators with details about any Native American matches, the 18 newly discovered ethnic markers, and a map of world ancestry including tribes of North and South America.

Which populations your DNA is compared against

The same indigenous reference database as the Basic test, and on top of it the Plus report also covers Melungeon, Hispanic and related populations, plus your closest matches among European countries.

What is the 18 Marker Ethnic Panel?

Eighteen ethnic markers discovered by DNA Consultants, two of them Native American. They are tied to the great human migrations out of Africa, which is why a marker can place a line in a part of the world that no country-level estimate would have shown you.

“—” means the Basic test does not report it. The Basic test is deliberately limited to your indigenous matches; the Fingerprint Plus covers every line.

What our customers say about these tests

Each report is personalized
