The 1880 Federal Census is the 1880 Federal Census, Judy. Native Americans have only very recently been listed as such on Federal (and probably any recent state) census. At various times throughout the history of the Federal census, they've been listed as "B" for black, "M" for mulatto/people of color, or"W" for white. In order to determine Native American blood to any degree, you'll need to start a whole different research program. There are dozens of Native American sites on the Internet that can be helpful. I'm curious as to why you say she should have been on the MCAR 1880 census but doesn't show. If you can give me some names and dates and places and on which censuses the family has been found, maybe I can help.
