That's confusing because Inuit counts as Native American. The most common formula is: American Indian + Alaska Native = Native American.<br /><br />I heard the same thing you did: that Bedard was a model for Pocahontas's face.

I've met people who thought Indians all sold fireworks, mostly because of Adam Beach's role in <i>Joe Dirt</i>.
