Native American Indian? If so do you know what tribe?

No, not as far as I know. The rumors of him being Native American probably came from his concept album "Bitter Tears" (1964), with songs highlighting the plight of the Native Americans.

No he was not. He was the son of a poor cotton sharecropper and had no Indian heritage as far as anyone knows. He was born in the cotton growing area of Arkansas.

I am quite sure he was not an American Indian. He was born and raised in Mississippi, I think. I know he spent some time in the U.S. Air force

I don't believe so. He did seem to support Native rights.

"The Man in Black" was born J. R. Cash in Kingsland, Arkansas, and raised in Dyess, Arkansas. By age five, he was working in the cotton fields, singing along with his family as they worked.
