The earliest known line of the family traces its descent from Robert Thorp in Yorkshire around the year 1200.If this isn't confusing enough, Jim Thorpe was married three times, and none of his wives were Native American. That suggests that not one of his children are even one-third Native American.

He was the first Native American to earn an Olympic gold medal at the 1912 games in Stockholm, Sweden. Following his Olympic career, he went on to become the highest paid Major League Baseball player in 1913.
She had a French father and a Potawatomi mother, a descendant of Chief Louis Vieux, and was the daughter of Jacob Vieux her father, and Elizabeth Goslin her mother. As settlers began to squat upon their homelands, Kickapoo turned to Kennekuk, known as the Kickapoo Prophet. He urged the Kickapoo and Potawatomi to work together to resist efforts by the U.S. government to remove tribal nations from their homelands. His approach encouraged members of both Nations to pool their resources, and he treated Kickapoo and Potawatomi equally.
