If you know that your grandfather was an American Indian how can you get proof that you are also an American Indian?

You have to get documentation that shows your grandfather was an American Indian. Then a copy of your parent's birth certificate showing the grandfather and then a copy of your birth certificate showing the parent should be enough. The link to the Department of Interior, responsible for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, provides further guidance.
