If one considers the 'adoption' of Joseph's two sons - Ephraim and Manasseh - by Abraham and included them in the blessings (they receiving the birthright promises, specifically Ephraim first), then you can count 13 tribes. See below:
Genesis 48:5New King James Version (NKJV)
5 And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, aremine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

If the question refers to the reputed "ten lost tribes" of Israel, they would have been Semitic, not American Indian. Ethnically, there is no relationship between the Israelites and the Cherokee. Moreover, the American Indians had allready been in the Americas for thousands of years before the destruction of Israel in 722 BCE. Biblical legend has it that there were twelve tribes of the Hebrew people, ten of whom lived in the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel and two tribes in southern Judah. When the Assyrians finally conquered Israel, they deported many of the inhabitants, replacing them in what was now the Assyrian province of Samaria, with conquered peoples from elsewhere in the empire. The former Israelites gradually assimilated into their host communities, adopting their religions and cultures, until they entirely lost their ethnic identity. Thus, the legend of the ten lost tribes.
