One of Hollywood’s leading Native American figures is being accused of faking her claims of Cherokee heritage, The Post can reveal.

Award-winning Heather Rae, 56, serves on the Academy of Motion Pictures’ Indigenous Alliance, previously headed up the Sundance Institute’s Native American program and claims “my mother was Indian and my father was a cowboy.” Multiple prior news reports have also cited her as having a Cherokee mother.

But a watchdog group called the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds is now demanding the Academy and the producer drop her “false claims” while activists insist she’s at best 1/2048th Cherokee. The group accuses her of profiting from usurping “real American Indian voices and perspectives” and being a fraudulent so-called “Pretendian.”

Member of the lost tribe of Israel?

Also not a real Indian.

It’s humourous if it weren’t so pathetic.

Like Liz Warren, she hijacked a tribe before knowing their history.
The Cherokee owned African slaves, were rich plantation owners and fought for the Confederacy.

Some Native organisations are now taking it so far as to say that unless you can prove pure-blood, you’re not Native, PERIOD.

Obvious question: If there is so much “white privilege”, why fake being non-white?

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Everything about Hollywood is fake, so why not?
