20 Celebrities That You Never Suspected Were of Native American Descent

7. Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix has Native American blood on both sides of his family. His grandmother was one-quarter Cherokee. It may seem like a small link, but it was one that the Hendrix family has always celebrated. They even sent a number of Jimi Hendrix’s belongings to the National Museum of the American Indian on a long-term loan so that others may not only know of Jimi’s heritage, but his pride in it as well.
