Added after I read the DNA page more carefully:
You'd need to buy both tests, for $278, if you are male, to get the full report - one test for your father's side, one for your mother's. If you are a lady, a brother or a first cousin who is the son of your father's brother would do for the male side.

Go as far back as you can by paper trail; that may give you some clues as to the tribe.
