Apparently, he is more Indian than Elizabeth Warren.

US Indian names are peculiar. They may be traditional tribal names, or they can be European. In this case, his last name, Fryberg, is associated with the British Columbian gold rush of 1871. The name itself is Anglo-German, roughly “free mountain” or “free town”.

Yep, my (Pamunkey/Powhatan) family’s surname was Collins, my great-grandfather’s given name was Simeon, and their kids all had “English” first names. Our cousins were Bradbees and the chief’s family were Cook & Brown. Very typical.
