Hi Jean,
Actually, if you would like to learn more about the ancestry of a certain "chief," it is not hard to do so, as he himself has posted a lot of data concerning his forebears on the Internet.
You should first look at http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=zaxciel&id=I241, which will bring you to the ancestry of his father, "Living" Burton.
This lineage tracks back to Judith Benoit, but it also leads back to a lot of other persons, none of whom are (or can be) shown to have had any Native ancestry. Then the address http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=zaxciel&id=I13 links to the genealogy of his mother, Emma Lorraine nee Boyd, who apparently descended from the Lejeunes, although the specific link between her great-grandparents and the earlier generations of the Lejeune family is nowhere established in the material as presented.
Anyone who may be interested can see from this information that he posted himself, that Erich Burton's ancestors mostly came from Scotland (that is, 9/16 of them), or at least from the British Isles (about 13/16, altogether, adding those from England and Ireland to the Scots), despite his declared affinity with the perhaps one percent or so of his ancestors who may have been Native Americans.
Indeed, in perusing Mr. Burton's compilation regarding his own ancestors, one notes that there were far more Mc's and Mac's among them than Micmacs (Mi'kmaq).
