Looks have nothing to do with your ancestry. You cannot tell if you have Native American heritage by some random, stereotypical looks.
No idea, looks have zero to do with who your ancestors were........ research and prove that research and you will find out.... a CDIB card informs a person of native American ancestors, so unlike most nations NA ancestry is easy to document
Impossible to tell, because you aren't holding up your CDIB, which is the only indicator of native American ancestry.
If you ALREADY KNOW where your ancestry is from....
then you personally are experiencing WHY "looks" is a joke, in terms of defining ancestry. The answer is that you cannot prove any ancestry by appearance. Whoever told you this, is simply uneducated.
I don't know , what does a native American look like? Inuit, Plains , West Coast, Mexican, Peruvian , Argentinian
Brazilian or Patagonian and a few I have probably missed such as Mic Mac? Most of us don't really have a race we are all hybrids, which is certainly true for North Americans.
The Cherokee early on adopted European ways to the point they actually owned black slaves. When they were driven out of the Carolinas and into Oklahoma they took their slaves with them and by treaty those slaves became part of the tribe. There were and are black Cherokees. Yeh you look native American.
It is all but impossible to determine ancestry from photos. You appear to be of Mixed ancestry. If you are Native American you would have an CDIB card of at least know what tribe you ancestry is .
The only way that you might be able to learn about a connection to Native American ancestry is with DNA testing, HOWEVER, there is no tribe that presently accepts DNA tests and the Government does not either as DNA cannot determine tribal association.
No. You look like a mix of African and European.

The word Native American is a term with certain legal,cultural and anthropological connotations for most of the Indigenous peoples of the U.S.A.. In response to what others have said in this forum a C.D.I.B card ONLY applies to Native American people of the U.S.A. Nations OTHER than the U.S.A have other determinations and criteria on the definition of "Indigenous" in legal,cultural and anthropological senses. The term Native American is not applicable to indigenous peoples of other nations (other than the U.S.A.).Amerindian is term that can be applied to most of the Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean,North America and South America.The Native Hawaiians are an indigenous people of the U.S.A. who are NOT Native American in any form of legal,cultural or anthropological senses
