We had always been "told" our mother's maternal line was mostly native. But the little info I found was all Germanic. My Gma was the daughter of the son of the son of the son .... back to the first "House" that emigrated. I couldn't find anything about the women they married except names, and they all were very Germanic. So if there is native it would have come from one of the women w/ German names so likely through one of the wives maternal line (if it exists at all)
