This is a significant catch! And just to be sure, I checked it with Wikipedia. Curtis was an enrolled member of the Kaw nation. And a Republican.

Someone should inform Trump about this. It would make an excellent gotcha reply the next time some reporter asks him about that “first person of color” Kamala Harris.
