How do you find out how much Indian blood you have?
There is no one place you can go to find out if you are "part Indian." You will have to research your mother's background and your father's background, and then their parents and on and on back in time to determine if you have any ancestor who came from India. If you do, then you are part Indian. If you are interested in learning if you are part American Indian, or Native American, you must still research your ancestors, but your path may be different and you may be able eventually to see if one of your ancestors was officially enrolled as a member of a tribe after it had come under the control of the US Government as the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
