    Native American watchdog group the Tribal Alliance Against
    Frauds (TAAF) recently demanded an apology from Hollywood
    producer Heather Rae over lying about her background.

    Fifty-six-year-old Rae, who serves on the Academy of Motion
    Pictures’ Indigenous Alliance, has previously stated that
    she came from an "Indian" mother and a "cowboy" father
    while several news outlets reported her as having a "Cherokee"
    parent. However, the New York Post reported about recent
    claims by Native American activists insist that Rae is,
    at best, only 1/2048th Cherokee.

    . . .

    Wow ... same dubious figure as Liz,'Pocahontas', Warren :-)

    Mid 60s thru mid 70s, being 'native' was very popular.
    Hard to tell HOW many fake 'natives' suddenly appeared.
    There were even "exploitation" films like "Billy Jack".
    The hippies were convinced the natives just loved them ...
    but that wasn't exactly true ......

    BTW ... I suggest the generic term "wooden indian" when
    refering to Pocohontas Liz and friends - something totally
    fake.
