Since this is categorised under "native American" I guess you mean the native language families of the Americas and you are not asking about the languages of India.
There is no widespread agreement about the classification of those languages and there are almost as many opinions as there are language experts - even today, after hundreds of years of scientific study, experts can not agree on many aspects of this subject. You will therefore find many different and conflicting classification systems.
One recent study groups languages of the Americas in this way:
In North America:
Eskimo-Aleut
Na-Dene
Algic (or Algonquian)
Tsimshianic
Wakashan
Salishan
Chimakuan
Chinookan
Plateau Penutian
Kalapuyan
Alsean
Coosan
Shastan
Wintuan
Yukki-Wappo
Pomoan

Yokutsan
Yuman-Cochimi
Keresan
Kiowa-Tanoan
Caddoan
Siouan-Catawban
Comecrudan
