Rand Paul but not Ron Paul has Native American ancestry. Rand Paul’s maternal grandmother Carol Creed’s 9th great grandmother Matoaka Amonute “Rebecca” Powhatan was born 1595 in Virginia.
You mean Pocahontas? Assuming this relation is even correct, that would make Rand Paul of 1/8192 Native American descent.

He has German and Scottish ancestry on his mother’s side as well.
