The Legendary rock n roll singer’s ancestry has been researched by many. It is said that the Presley name originated from Scotland when a man named Andrew Presley moved to America in the 1700s. In addition to this, German, French, (on his mothers side) and Cherokee also make up his heritage.
His great-great-great grandmother was said to be a full blooded Cherokee. A site listed below states that his maternal great grandmother was said to be a Jewish woman.

elvis looks more native than anything else. sorry but he does. are he and priscella 2nd cousins? they resemble one another

I havent heard about that, but it would be a little odd if it were true.

Elvis and Priscilla looked alike only because she dyed her hair black. He liked black hair. They are NOT cousins. Also his mother was a Christian woman and Elvis believed in Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. He repeatedly told others that he was not the king and that their was only one KING and that was JESUS.

his hair is dyed black. if you’ve ever watched a documentary about him. you’d know that. he said he dyed his hair because he thought it made him look more like Tony Curtis.
Elivis was weird, had too many issues.

Elvis was not weird he was an addict and a little bit of a religious freak. which explains a lot. he also never gave credit to the true artists an lyricists that made all his music he just re did it and made it popular because he was white…but his music was noy…and he can NOT play guitar…

Regardless of what his hair colour is, Elvis is a very Native American looking man.

I have loved Elvis since I was 14 years old. He does the Cherokee Indians proud.
I to, am part Cherokee, and proud of it. There will never be another Elvis–he was one of a kind!!!!! A good Christian man, that stupid, gready Doctors took advantage of by giving him additive drugs- to loose weight on, to stay awake and to go to sleep with. Just so they could line the greedy pockets.

To Chief_Mulatto_Native,
Yes, my mother and aunt told me that when I was a kid.They also said he was in love with this black girl,but she turned him down and he acted cold toward black people after that.I think he was in Louisiana at the time,but can’t prove it . Oh yeah never call a Melungeon black,in the old days they went out their way to hide that fact

To the truth
Well I do agree Elvis was not racist
March 15th, 2010
To: thetruth…I really wonder where you got your list from? Gosh u stupid…It’s very annoying…do u even know anything about Ghandi? Well I do because I am South African and Ghandi is part of our history. Ghandi spent a long time in South Africa fighting for the right of all human beings…black, white, indian, chinese, purple or green…whatever u can imagine…to be treated equally…how the hell is that racist? why is that some white people with some serious issues like to accuse anybody who opposed white supremacy and idolised the idea of a society in which all people are treated the same…black, white or green of being racist? Racist is your white ancestors who treated black people like animals not Ghandi or Martin Luther king. Judging from ur list its clear that you are the racist one…u need help!

To the truth
I see you mention George Washington,if he was so great,why didn’t he free his slaves?It’s also rumored that he had a bi-racial child which he left enslaved.So how is this a great man?Also as far as the rumor,it’s most likely true,seeing how they loved to jump in bed with their property.Also as far as (Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton)they both had reasons to hate white people.You didn’t go through what they did,so into you do, you can’t call them anything.

Meant to say until you do, you can’t call them anything

To Tshegofatso,
Actually Gandhi didn’t like black people.
“Gandhi’s early struggle in south Africa was predicated on the idea that Europeans should treat Indians better than they did because the Indians were better than Blacks.”
Just Google Gandhi black people. There’s a ton of quotes on how racist Gandhi was towards blacks.

To Gandhi
Well that’s something I didn’t know
March 18th, 2010
To Gandhi…If you into heavy readings…by that I mean journals…not wikipedia or some silly website you found on the net, I mean real academic work that will actaually give you the right information…please visit this site http://www.jstor.org/stable/161593?cookieSet=1 …we have one of the busiest places in Johannesburg…the biggest city in Africa named after Gandhi…do you think we would name a place after a man who was racist… black people in South Africa wiould protest like nobody’s business…they are the majority…so the name would have to be changed…actually after Apartheid in South Africa…thats racial segregation…most places in south Africa that were named by the apartheid regime were renamed…and new names were given to them…most were given names of liberation fighters such as Nelson Mandela…Gandhi being one of them. if you cant access that site plz invest on this book: The Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. 34, No. 4 (Dec., 1996), pp. 643-660
