Picture ID is better, for example with a Driver's License. However the US recently enacted a law requiring people entering back into the US to have a Passport. Now, when I inquired about what if we didn't have a passport, the border guy (Canada-US border) said "legally we have to allow a US Citizen in with a birth certificate." So, while perhaps legally a Passport is not required, it isbetter to have one, or you could fact problems getting back into the US. Don't want to be stuck in Mexico, unless you want to be there for a while. Which many people do, and I am not saying it is bad, but most Americans would prefer to be able to get back into the USA.

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.
