Apart from the music (of course 
), I've been kind interested by Lightfoot's last name because by virtue of his last name, it appears as though he has some Native American heritage, but I have never actually found out any specific details about it.
I'm interested in knowing this! Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you!
From the man himself (excerpt)
"Q: You're very environmentally conscious. So set the record straight.
A: I'm Scottish all the way. That's my ancestry. Someone told me that
every Indian in the United States thinks I'm half Chippewa, but I'm Scottish. Sometimes I wish I were Indian, but unfortunately I'm not (laughter)."
