Best way to find out is do a family tree search. You can search for websites that will help out find out. What traits are you talking about? Physical traits, emotional traits, characteristics? Be more specific. I myself am Cherokee, and I have done lineage searches and also because I know from family. I can trace pure blood up till my maternal grandmother. So my family history goes a long way back.
There are many traits of Native Americans. But even if you think you have some of them, you may not be Native American. If the amount is small, since it could have been from generations to generations, you wouldn't be able to tell. Some white folks have Native American looks...if you mean NA. I'm assuming you do mean Native American. Also if you are, learn to refer to us as Native Americans, not Indians. We aren't Indians. lol...
Hope this helps. If you find you do have Native blood in you, contact the tribe...up to 1/16 blood (some tribes) you can register and get financial help in college and stuff.

Half Eastern Band Cherokee here--and traits don't always make the person. Some Italians and Greeks can look like that as well, depending.

Now do you mean Native American? Or people from India? Either way you can do a family tree search.

Only way to be sure is to research your lineage. There are many websites to aid you with this like genealogy.com or make friends with a Mormon they have one of the largest archives.

It's possible, we are all mixed w/ different races, especially in America. good luck researching your lineage, it should be an life awakening experience to find out where and who you come from.

you can go take a DNA test and find out. a lot of people do that to see what ethnicities they have in them. go ask your doctor about it or you could google it like that person above me said. good luck!

The only way to know for sure is do a genealogy study. Once you know your ancestors and history you will know about your bloodline.
