It was the writer Louise Erdrich.  

She grew up among Native Americans, but I don't believe she has any actual NA ancestry. It's a touchy issue. A lot of tribes consider people raised in (with?) the tribe are considered tribal members. I guess, for me, what's the point of going on a show like this if you don't think the DNA matters? Oh, well.

none of these people interest me. 

I'm a huge fan of Ruben Blades -- both his acting and his music AND his politics -- I'm looking forward to his episode. Actually, I like a lot of these people: Melanie Lynskey, Michael Imperioli, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Amanda Seyfried, and Amy Tan.
