You need to examine your indian tribe information to ensure that you are an active member of a recognized tribe. There are special rules in regards to american indians.

Always consult with a lawyer in your area prior to making legal decisions. Good luck!

The tribe must recognize the child as a member of the tribe. That is the child must be registered with the tribe. If the birth father and paternal grandfather are registered with the tribe they should apply for tribal registration of the child.
