Eminem is part Indian to some degree though he never really made much mention of it most of his life and he is overall culturally white as well.

It's a lesser known family detail but his mother described it in greater detail in her book about her family that Eminem's fathers family was partly from an extended Indian family.

There was a company in Scotland from the Highlands called Moving Up who did a programme about Eminem in 2001 which they sent him a copy of and made comparison between him to Robert Burns, and they featured a family chart trace and stated officially that they found he has Scottish family background on both sides of his family. Some sources state he also has a small touch of Polish and Anglo as well although according to his father before he died he said that was actually a bit of Welsh from his side and he said some of his mothers side also had a bit of Scandinavian some to some degree - which probably largely came from Scottish, it's said the early Scots used to be called Picts and that they were said to be similar to Scandinavians so that's probably what he meant. So he is classified white (Scots on both sides with a hint of Luxembourgian etc), and some Indian from his fathers side with a tad touch of Welsh. So the answer would be yes.

Yes, Eminem is part native American. His father was part Blackfoot Native American and his mother was part Echota. Eminem's mom explains their heritage in her book. She never mentioned what percentage they were, but it was enough for Eminem's mom and her other son Nathan to get Native American Indian Tribe member cards, and they received help from their native tribe to pull Nathan out of foster care. Debbie stated that Eminem never wanted the membership card and never really embraced the whole native American thing.
