Fun fact

Her mother is the Mohawk political activist Kahn-Tineta Horn and her half-sister Waneek Horn-Miller was an Olympic water polo co-captain — a family that has been arguing with Canada, and representing it, for three generations.

The verdict

Tanis on Letterkenny, Deer Lady on Reservation Dogs — a Kahnawake Mohawk actress and filmmaker with one of the most interesting résumés on this list. Daughter of the activist Kahn-Tineta Horn, half-sister to Waneek Horn-Miller. Indigenous to this land well before the border showed up. Five points, and then some.
