Not that I'm aware of -- and I'd be rather skeptical that it's possible if
you're talking about a marker which is always found in one tribe and never
found in other populations. You could check technical publications at the
National Library of Medicine database and use the tribal name and DNA as key
words.

You might also be interested in looking at "History and Geography of Human
Genes" by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza if your library has a copy. The work was
done on variations in proteins rather than DNA, but the chapter on America
has a cluster diagram showing how closely various tribes are related.
