Miley’s mother was adopted, as she has stated.
Several family trees indicate that the Cyrus surname was spelled Siers many generations back. Most or all of Miley’s father’s ancestors since the start of the 1800s were born in the United States. Much of her father’s ancestry is English, along with Scottish, Irish, and Welsh.

Miley’s paternal grandfather was Ronald Ray Cyrus (the son of The Rev. Eldon Lindsey/Lindsay Cyrus and Verlina Adeline Hay). Ronald was born in Kentucky. He was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, from 1975 to 1996, and Executive Secretary and Treasurer of the Kentucky AFL-CIO, from 1984 to 1986. The Rev. Eldon was a Pentecostal preacher, and was the son of Joseph Morgan Cyrus and Sarah Elvessa Hayes. Verlina was the daughter of Martin Alexander Hay and Mary Jane Hayes.
Miley’s paternal grandmother is Ruth Ann Casto (the daughter of William Clayton Casto and Mary Guila/Guilla Boggs). Ruth was born in Kentucky. William was the son of Joseph C./Johnsey Casto and Josie E. Johnson. Mary was the daughter of Clement Alexander Boggs and Leora Olive McAtee.
Miley’s adoptive maternal grandfather was Glenmore Finley (the son of Benjamin Harrison Finley and Ada Cornett). Glenmore was born in Kentucky. Benjamin was the son of John Patton Finley and Nancy Louisa Berry.
Miley’s adoptive maternal grandmother was Loretta Jean Palmer (the daughter of Neville Hardy Palmer and Nellie Burch Howard). Loretta was born in Kentucky. Neville was the son of Andrew Jackson Palmer and Fannie Pink Woolum. Nellie was the daughter of Adren/Adron D. Howard and Fronie/Frony Hill.

Where are you getting the Native american from?? She looks blatantly white to me! And even if she did have NA in her, it would be a tiny amount that would hardly change her appearance, such a small amount that would not be recognised at all and identifiable. Im not white BTW… :) Deal with the facts ppl!
I’m 1/4 New Mexican Native American and White the rest and it changes what you look like o.o
even if she is a little bit native american she is still native american…
And she does look like a native america, I always thought she had mixed race
Stupid ass skanks
Ha!!!! Love it @delnegro
really have you seen her mom? Brother? sister? Do they look native american?
Actually having VERY low amounts of NativeAmerican blood does not count you have to be atleast 1/16 to claim it legally and she obviously is not. I am 1/8 and you can see it people always ask me if I am part NA. She is not mixed race and I don’t see anywhere in the article where there is any proof that she has ANY NA blood none of the ancestral last names given were native American.
P.S. I love Miley!!!
Cameron diaz is also native american and shes more white than Miley.
guys you can have white skin and be native american clearly your not paying attention to the other 6 nationalities there which play a big part too. im NA too and im white skinned with blue eyes and blonde hair however my grandma is really dark with blue eyes and dark brown hair and she is my moms mother, so even going down 1 or 2 generations or mixing lets say irish with it can change the skin color big time.
HAHAHHAHA, I always laugh when I see white southerners claiming to be “Native American”. They ALL do it and about 00000.01% actually are. It’s actually more likely that a southern black will have native blood than a southern white since they were very segregated and race mixing was highly taboo. However blacks and Indians were known to mix often since there weren’t those boundaries. Miley is caucasian plain and simple.
Ur plain and simple
I will give you a very lovely list of the many Caucasians in Hollywood who claim to be descendant of some Native American tribe. Most of them claim Cherokee yet have not a lick of proof. Some of them were even caught lying about it yet people still carry on their false words as if a celebrity has never told a lie in order to enhance their image.

And here I thought these were just regular white people lying through their teeth, but apparently, that 1/64 Native American makes them special and “ethnic!” Justin Timberlake has a Native ancestor from the 1700’s! He is a unique snowflake! Megan Fox’s father was 1/32 Native! Wow! She’s a unique snowflake, too! Of course, they cannot provide a lick of evidence of this because it is most likely not true, but hey, let’s distinguish their “ethnic” features and call them Native, like Megan Fox’s long black hair (which is fake), her full lips (which are fake), her nice tan (which is fake), and her high cheekbones (which are fake as well).
Yes, that was sarcasm if you are too slow to pick up on it. This site is a joke. White people have been saying they were part Cherokee since the 1960’s. It honestly made them not a bit different from the rest of the drones in Hollywood. Now I have to hear about how being 1.25% Native, like Megan Fox, makes her beautiful and special. What bullshit.
Miley has a real Western European especially British appearance,not Asian,and it’s confirmed by her genealogy
She looks part NA. Deal with it!
She can even pass for a light skin mexican
British? wtf are you talking about?? she does not look british
She doesn’t look white i am from europe and i had not seen northen europeans that look like her , she looks part native american and many white southerners have a native american and a black ancestry because of slavery some mixed people could pass for white and they marry white and didn’t told their white spouse about their ancestry that is why many whites in the south are part black.I know quite of few white people from the south and told me they were part black and they were racist they hated black people wow. Every one in america is white except those who are part west african what is white in america is not white in europe.
didnt you state in another comment that you are of filipino, arab and other non-euro descendant?? so why do you think that YOu can decide if somebody is white or not?? get your fukkin ass out of my continent!
nora , sorry i can’t get the fuck out of your continent my stepfather is white American , my half brother and sister are Americans , my son father is a white A merican who is part Mexican hahahah ddi you read that yes he is a white American who is mixed like so many and by the way my pure brother looks like a white men and he is multiracial , my German half brothers they look 100% white German with blond hair and blue eyes hahahahaha .My grandfather is a white European from my mom side , my grandmother is also part white and yes i am very mixed with all those other races you mention hahaha you said , non-euro descendant what a lie , i have white family in Europe with blond hair blue eyes and also brown hair and green eyes and yes my dad South east asian blood and polynesian was dominant on me but the white genes was more dominant towards my brother , and by the way my son is American so if you are not native American then you also get the fuck out of this continent , and no one is pure in these world hahahahaha you know i am right.
You’re 100% correct, but these so called white americans will never admit it. They are ashamed and are racist about their native and black side.
You’re from Europe? Really? How come you’re not aware that the term “White” is seldom used here?
U guys are silly. If it said she was mixed with pitbull and shitzhu y’all would believe it ” oh yeah I see why her ears are pointy and sounds like a small dog” idiots
omg i love miley cyrus she is the best <3 and i miss hannah montanna
