Her mother Geroldine Marie Barnitz 1923-2009 was a leather stamper from Phoenix Arizona of French German and Dutch descent. Her mother and two sisters were subject to their fathers rage and beatings.
Her mother is French-German-Dutch and her father was from the White Mountain Apache and Yaqui tribes from Arizona. With that being said he never accepted the award himself but rather he sent Apache President of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee Sacheen Littlefeather up on stage to accept the award on his behalf so she could speak about the poor treatment of Native Americans according to The London Economic. At such a prestigious event he was expected to be restrained by at least six security officers.
