Native American Beauties

[Helen Parsekian]

Can you post pictures of Native American models, entertainers, and actresses? I have been interested in the culture for a while now, but I realized that I know of no actual Native American actresses and models.

For a while, I thought that Angelina Jolie was a true representation of one when she claimed to be part Iroquois on Inside the Actor's Studio, but her father, Jon Voight, claimed that was a lie utilized in order to make him and Marcheline Bertrand, Angelina's mother, sound exotic. He announced that Angelina is French Canadian, Slovak, German, and Dutch. Then, I looked at her genealogy, which is public. It turns out her father was right. The only Native ancestor Angelina has is the Huron Catherine Annennnontak who was born in 1649.

I also believed that Megan Fox was part Native American. In an interview, she said she wanted to play Rainmaker, an Apache superhero. She said,

It's really obvious on Bridgett Hall (especially because of her amazing nose) she talked about her having native Americans blood but I don't remember what tribe.

Adrian Grenier is a 1/4th Apache Native American for sure, and Taylor Lautner does have distant Ottawa and Potawatomi ancestry. He had no idea he had this before he signed on for Twilight and had to search his ancestry for it. He found it through his mother.

Actually, Adrian Grenier isn't 1/4th Apache. Due to a recent Genealogy done by a professional for Adrian, his Apache ancestry comes from his mothers side, and it is from the 1600's in New Mexico. A Great Grandfather of his from that time was actually a Conquistador, who's wife of daughter something like that, was captured by the Apache people, according to the records, when she was located again, she was either pregnant or had just had a child. That is how it was proven.

However I still don't understand how, through DNA testing, they were able to show by what percentage, due to the fact the ancestor was on his mother's side who's blood had come down through the generations through both female and male DNA. Y-DNA is strictly male tested, women are unable to do this test, however there is a mtDNA that can be tested from both men and women, therefore if what the Genealogist stated was true as far as the DNA testing, there is no way they would have been able to prove by what percentage, due to the fact that his blood went from a female ancestor to a male ancestor and on down to his mother.
