Try this site http://www.familytreedna.com/ - you send off a sample of saliva ( I think - ) and a fee and they can tell you where your lineage is.

the first place to look is in your family records. you didn't mention how old you are. if you are young, ask your parents and/or relatives. if there is a family bible, that might help. older people can contact the Bureau of Indian Affairs, BIA. they will require names, places and dates for as far back in your family history as you can go. if a member of your family has been registered, the bureau will know with which tribe they are affiliated. hope this helps, and good luck in your search.

If you have a little bit of your family history, names,dates,places of birth you can start to track you family tree. There are a lot of cool websites to track and organize your information. The bureau of Indian affairs in DC can help about geographic locations of tribes..

You mean where your ancestors are from.
Sorry i am just in a really bad mood. I don't mean to be so misunderstanding of the American culture of " Iam what my prehistoric ancestors were"
