@RylandW Can you give any more information? Where did Leo Couch live? There were no dates or places in Family Tree.
Please help me trace my Indigenous ancestry
My 2x great-grandmother (mother of Leo Couch, G2LH-C3T) was an Indigenous American. I do not know what tribe, band, or group(s) she identified with. I have no records for this branch of my ancestry and I need help, as I know very little about this type of research. Can someone please help me?

@SerraNola I do not know, but Kentucky is highly likely. Thank you!

UPDATE:
I have traced a lot more of this branch and found sources thanks to a close family member. The name of the Indigenous woman in my family tree is Eva Lou (Letner) Couch. I still need help, however, but hopefully this will help all you kind researchers who are willing to help me. Thank you so much, everyone.

@SerraNola Yes, the family member also believes the ancestor is Indigenous. The records may be incorrect, she may have had a White complexion, or we're wrong. I would like to figure this out, but I will need help as this is not my area of expertise.

On familysearch we find Leo Couch and his parents. We also find a stillborn child of Lester and Puline Couch and it says they were both White.
When Lester applied for a Social Security number his father also stated he is white. His mother only has a delayed birth certificate for Tennessee and no indication of race, but the 1930 & and all other Census records I found indicate she is white.
All of these can be found on FamilySearch.org
