Yes, R1b1 is a European haplogroup.
You can use a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test for a straight female line and see if that shows a Native American haplogroup (A, B, C, D and some varieties of X). It will probably take a lot of research to find an appropriate person to test. You'll need to find a daughter of the gr gr grandfather's mother, one who had a daughter who had a daughter who had a daughter, clear down to a living cousin. The person who takes the test can be a male or a female, but it must be a straight line of female ancestors back to the person you believe to be Native American.
