  1. You need to start by simply tracing your family as far back as possible, getting their full names and dates of birth. Don't worry about looking for native american stuff until you have that information. After you have traced your family back, then you can start searching American Indian rolls for surnames that match.


  2. Talking with family, hunting for whatever records are online and elsewhere, like census records, etc, that could help provide a paper trail and some clues.

  3. start with your parents and then the native council for your tribe or nation.  It can get complicated.  Keep track of who you talk to and what they say, ask for references to what they tell you.

    Good luck
