Tahmoh Penikett

"I come from a storytelling culture, I love stories."
A member of the White River First Nation, Tahmoh is named after a great uncle who was a hunter and trapper near the Yukon/Alaska border.
“My mother is First Nation, I was named by my grandmother. The nation Upper Tanana which is an Athasbaskan language group situated in north west Yukon in Alaska. I’m named after my great-uncle. I was born and raised outside of Yukon, right beside Alaska, lived there until I was 19. Lived in BC the last 8 or 9 years…. My father is British.”


There, that is from the tahmohpenikett.blogspot.com http://tahmohpenikett.blogspot.com/2005/03/tahmoh-penikett-biography.html

So, that should clear up the question. I guess his first name is definitely American-Indian. . . But his last name is maybe British?
