was Tanatanka really an Native Indian?

[PHBro]

I hear his last name is like Chavez or something so that would make him a mexican would'nt it? IDK. thanks.

[whiteyford]

He is descended from the Lumbee Native American tribe.

On the April 28 SmackDown! a vignette played announcing that "a new warrior would soon be forged in Tatanka." Over the next three weeks footage aired of Tatanka being (legitimately) adopted into the Oglala Sioux Tribe (Lakota). When he returned to wrestling Tatanka defeated Simon Dean with his new finisher, "Wakinyan" (from the Lakota word for "Thunder").

Useless fact of the day would be a great gimmick for him. DLVH not Tatanka.

[DLVH84]

That's funny. Doesn't bother me any.

[whiteyford]

I was serious,worked for TOVO. And Matt Hardy i guess.

[KayfabeMan]

You're shocked that he's not Mexican?

I'm shocked that his name is Tanatanka.

And all these years I've been calling her Crandell.

[Shisen Kopf]

Tatanka is definitely an injun. Think he probably works in a casino.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

who cares...LOL

The way STD sees it. To give you this neg rep STD will be successful.

[Shisen Kopf]

I miss DLVH

[Shisen Kopf]

[ron the dial]

But then again, who is?

[Kris P Lettus]

Native Indian

[GD]

He's a real AMERICAN! Fights for the rights of every man :yes:

[Malfeitor]

Who are you to doubt Tatanka?

[Sixx]

DLVH84 doesn't post anymore?

Now that sucks.

[Shisen Kopf]

Yeah, DLVH left b/c someone kept changing his threads. Probably a BULLY mod. I wonder whoever that coulda been?

[slik]

Tatanka is a proud AMERICAN and he wrestled the proud FIN Ludvig Borga on an episode of Wrestling Challenge or Superstars or a Colosseum Home Video, like WRESTLEFEST.

Tatanka is a proud AMERICAN.

[Shisen Kopf]

Tatanka is anti bullying and anti racism. He probably wouldn't like some of he posters here

[slik]

Tatanka donut like racism and bullying.

Lumbee ways taught him respect for others and that USA #1!
