Forrest has said:
The Dine is the Navajo nation. Mandan and Hidatsa are people up in North Dakota. And the Tsimshian are in Alaska. My father comes from the Navajo people in Shiprock, New Mexico, in the Four Corners area. That is the Dine, which means “the people” in Navajo. If you ever hear the name of a native tribe it usually translates to “the people” or “human beings.” My grandmother on my mother’s side is from the Fort Berthold reservation in North Dakota — which is the reservation where the Arikara are from. The Arikara, of course, are in The Revenant.
Forrest’s paternal grandfather is Clement John Goodluck (the son of Hosteen Goodluck and Elizabeth/Marie Peshlakai/Peshligai). Clement was born in Lukachukai, Arizona, into a Navajo Native American family.
Forrest’s paternal grandmother is Harriet Marie Morgan (the daughter of John Morgan and Mary). Harriet was born in Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico, and was listed as “Indian” on the 1940 U.S. Census.
Forrest’s maternal grandfather is Fredrick/Frederick Earle “Fred” Atkinson (the son of Percy H. Atkinson and Luella/Leuella/Louella Elizabeth Shirai). Fredrick was born in Ketchikan, Alaska. Fredrick and his family were listed as “Indian” on the 1940 U.S. Census, and were members of the Tsimshian tribe. Percy was born in Alaska, the son of Donald “Don” Atkinson, whose parents were Canadian, and of Emily Maud/Maude Hamilton. Luella was born in Alaska, and likely was the daughter of Kichinojo “Harry” Shirai/Shirae, who was Japanese, and of a Tsimshian mother.
One of Forrest’s maternal great-great-great-grandmothers, Lucille Jerome Juriou/Jurie/Zuriet, was born in British Columbia, Canada, to a French-Canadian father and a Tsimshian mother.
Forrest’s maternal grandmother is Dorothy Cross (the daughter of Thomas Martin Cross and Dorothy Genevieve Bartell). Forrest’s grandmother Dorothy was born in the Fort Berthold reservation, in North Dakota, and belongs to the Arikara tribe through her father, Thomas, who was Hidatsa and Mandan. Forrest’s great-grandmother Dorothy had Norwegian, British, and German ancestry.
