If my memory serves me correct, I think I have one celeb who was Native American/Cherokee, even though I never heard him claim it. About 6 weeks ago, while looking for genealogy information on my Meeks ancestors, I ran across genealogy information on actor James Garner [b., Norman, OK.,1928- d. July 20, 2014], a.k.a. James Scott Bumgarner.
Garner's mother, Mildred Meek Bumgarner, was half Cherokee. After becomming an actor, James Bumgarner would change his last name to Garner.
