Yeah I think so, a friend of mine's teacher was brought into the tribe, he actually changed his last name to include the native name What I find interesting is Johny said it was something he never expected to do in his life...it seems if it weren't for the UFC who knows if he would have actually done this of his own will...who knows if he really even cares
It's not that hard to do what he did. He never grew up in that way. So for him 'finding an in' seemed impossible because he didn't even know where to start or who to ask. They didn't take him in or adopt him. He was all ready enough Native blood to be an enrolled member, not just some adopted/recognized member of a tribe. His blood is ACTUALLY native.
Jack Dempsey isn't Otoe or any Tribally affiliated native American is he? Last I checked that myth was debunked and all his ancestors were traced back to European immigrants.
Did you watch the video? The most notable person was his great great grandfather who was chief of the Otoe Missouri tribe, that's just most notable, his link is more recent than that. Look past the last name he goes with.
Truth Warrior it was his great grandfather and no where does it says it was his grandfather by his father side it could be by his mother side. Ronda great grandfather is black on her mother side does that mean she is black. Native culture says you were true native if you were from your father side but America change that. It was still like that in Canada but recently was change because of some feminist who loves the white man and hate their own people. White men would rape native women this is a fact.
most people in the us are mostly white, everybody almost is part white in america. george lopez is 55% european but 32% indigenous does that make him white? hell no it doesnt.
King Covington thats because George Lopez come from a Native man seed. Rape does not make someone native if there is evidence saying he comes from Native seed lets have it.
This guy is meties/half breed? I'm from Canada and I'm aboriginal and actually live on a reserve this guy don't look native at all, full natives can't grow beards barley even a small one, the only reason I could is because my dad has some white in him but he's mostly native, and I'm treaty from my reserve
I am descended from the same Otoe Missouria tribe. Southern natives CAN grow beards and used to pluck them. Indigenous people were never homogeneous even before colonization.
I like how the native communities have stayed together through generations, makes it easier to find you're roots
rebelish9 not really because the U.S added new rules all the time which would include people in the tribes
The tribe is proud of Johny even when he was at OSU. he is a good guy and respectful. he carry's his family well.
The heart of champion
It is a honor that hendricks took tha time to embrace his native blood.
I wonder if they would have made him a tribe member if he wasn't the UFC champion.

He was already an enrolled member. You usually enroll at birth and even if adopted and can prove lineage its possible to enroll into a tribe.
I'm otoe native American that is my village
I was there bc that's my native american tribe and it was the day after my birthday soo most of the people he hugged were my relatives
My family is Otoe Missouria too! Bear clan though.
I hope to join that list of Otoe descended Champions one day!
It's clear where Dan Henderson and Johny Hendricks got their power from.. :)
They’re half white
@@vaderentertainment8879 Johny came out looking middle eastern and Dan looks like they left him out in the sun too long
Nice tow truck
It must be a pain to have to park that huge truck
wow that must have a been an honored for Johnny
Yes the champ is native
Kinda...
Such horrible comments. Good for him! Happy with my life idk about you awful humans lol
You mention Tommy Morrison but not Jack Dempsey?
Jack Dempsey isn't Otoe or any Tribally affiliated native American is he? Last I checked that myth was debunked and all his ancestors were traced back to European immigrants.
@@aiyahuntacheimumbi236 the whites nicknamed him kid blackie I doubt thats because he sat in the sun all day...
I wonder is his lineage is actually traceable or if he's like everyone else who just says they're Native American because of their grandparents.

Truth Warrior rape doesnt make you native
TOLDtheTRUTH His grandfather was native, so the Caucasian women in his family were raped by them huh?
Truth Warrior it was his great grandfather and no where does it says it was his grandfather by his father side it could be by his mother side. Ronda great grandfather is black on her mother side does that mean she is black. Native culture says you were true native if you were from your father side but America change that.

He's from the Elizabeth Warren Tribe
THE ONLY TRUE RED SKIN WARRIOR IS DAN HENDERSON!!!
RompYa that maybe true there is evidence saying hes native almost nothing on this guy
RespeKt!
Randy Orton too
He looks about as native as Bin Laden
HE is mostly white..but hey its nice to get in touch with all your relatives.
most people in the us are mostly white, everybody almost is part white in america. george lopez is 55% european but 32% indigenous does that make him white? hell no it doesnt.
