She was born in Massachusetts. Her parents were not indigenous people. Her father was of Italian heritage. Her mother was English. She completely fabricated her identity.
The real injustice was what she did to those artists who actually were indigenous people. She took away the opportunity for recognition and awards that they may have earned if she had not cut in front of them and taken up space with her fake identity.
It is a pity. She was gifted a great talent. But she is also a fraud.
