Such a crazy story, but at some point I think he was genuinely accepted as a part of a Native American tribe.

So yes he's Italian and lied about it his whole life. He played Native American's in film and TV but he was eventually accepted into a tribe even though he was of Italian decent. It was a while ago I read the story so can't remember the specifics how this happened.
