I understand that if you are a male, you can take either a Y or mtDNA test to determine if you have Native American ancestry and that this is determined by the haplogroup you are designated. For the Y-test if you are designated by haplogroup C or Q, then you have Native American ancestry. If you take the mt-DNA test, and you are in haplogroups A, B, C, D or X, then you have Native American ancestry.
So my question is, if you don't know which side of your family the Native American ancestry came from, ie, maternal or paternal, how do you know which test to take?
Thanks
