I was looking forward to seeing Russell Means and Michael Greyeyes on the list, but apparently they are not famous enough. I should also look into seeing if I can find any actresses to suggest for consideration.

Iron Eyes Cody claimed Native American descent, although he was actually of Italian descent, with ancestors from Sicily. He labored for decades to promote Native American causes, and was honored by Hollywood's Native American community in 1995 as a "non-Native" for his contribution to film.

Cher is of Armenian heritage on her father's side, and of English and German, with more distant Irish, Dutch, and French, heritage on her mother's side.
