Test your DNA to see if you have significant American Indian ancestry.
500 Nations is a familiar phrase. The diversity of New World peoples is large. Our method searches for 15% of that number. It is the only such test on the market.
Most DNA testing companies have data on only about 20 or fewer North or South American Indian populations, of which only a handful are U.S. tribes. None is in the East. We have STR data for over 60 American Indian populations, including 3 Cherokee groups, one of which is Enrolled Cherokee from North Carolina.
Insufficient data on Native Americans long hampered both geneticists and genealogists. Finally, a major study addressed this failing with 29 separate American Indian tribes representing a diverse gene pool containing about 1,000 alleles (variants). Added to DNA Consultants’ existing American Indian populations, our database now has over 60 American Indian tribes you could possibly match. Included are Cherokee, Apache, Chippewa, and, Lumbee, and Mexican and South American Indians. It is the most complete forensic database for American Indian population study.

In most cases your report will include a certificate listing your tribal affinities in ranked order. You also receive a result showing where American Indian appears in your top megapopulations, plus an ethnic analysis panel revealing whether your parents passed to you any of the markers known as Native American I and Native American II.

To Jakay, We want to say ThankYou for you time in helping up. You are awesome. You went out of your way so I can get my information on Mother’s Day. Again Thank You for everything. God Bless
Thank you for the speedy return of my DNA results. My husband and I both had the same test done, and are enjoying researching our heritage. I have a question....since the test I took was Basic American Indian DNA Test, within the first 50 of the World Population Matches, my highest match of Native American is not until number 56. I feel there may be other Native American tribes for me, and it would be nice to know what they are. Is it possible to have the list of the World Population Matches 51-100 to view the other tribes? I hope this makes sense I am still trying to understand the results. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Larisa Ousley
I have a very high percentage of Native American blood line I knew it this test was easy and faster than expected I know you will be 100% satisfied with this as I was.
I found that the Cherokee and Sioux appear to be default family lore tribes, with many believing without real evidence that their family were members, and I was discouraged that might also be my situation. Depending on when and where an occurrence happened, a record may or may not exist. I have been able to confirm through documentation some my American Indian lineage. When I had the Basic American Indian DNA Fingerprint done, it revealed American Indian DNA, including mixed unregistered Cherokee. The DNA analysis will give me ideas where to look next using migration patterns. These results give me the confidence to continue the search, that family stories of Cherokee ancestry may have been more than simply folklore.
