What DNA test will tell me if Im Native American?

FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA) has several tests that can help you narrow down if you have Native American ancestry, and can even help you find which side of your family those genes come from! Using the basic FTDNA autosomal test, you can find out whether or not your genes can be correlated with Indigenous American populations.

Why Does My DNA test not show Native American?
