I have a single ancestor 14 generations back who is American Indian and it shows up at 0.1% on my 23 and me profile. I know all my ancestors on my mother's side back to about 1750 and on my father's side no one was in the US prior to 1900, so there isn't really any likelihood of any other ancestry amplifying it.

It's never really just 50% inheritance. Every 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 just increases the odds that the inheritance doesn't pass along certain genes. That's what apparently happened with me. Just genetic odds going one way (African) and not the other (Cherokee and Chickasaw, despite genealogical evidence), I guess. That or some mistake somewhere.

If you have American Indian ancestry it shouldn't disappear from the record
