Native American DNA sequencing is available for both males and females.

For males, you can test for Native American ancestry in either your direct paternal (father's) or direct maternal (mother's) line of ancestors. For females, you can only test for Native American ancestry in your direct matrilineal line. 

The Y DNA test tests your father's father's direct patrilineal line. For your mother's mother's direct matrilineal line, mtDNA is tested, and both males and females can take that test.

Everyone can test their autosomal DNA to see if they have some percentage of Native American ancestry utilizing the Family Finder test, but that test will not tell you in which line your Native Ancestry is found

This project is open to people who have proven Native Ancestry via genetics or via traditional genealogy.  You will be asked for your genealogy or Native connection prior to joining.
