Gordon Lightfoot's music

In FFAR 250, Professor Craig Morrison played Gordon Lightfoot's music for Expo 1967 in Montreal. However he did not add context to the song. Perhaps he was trying to present the song as an example of true Canadian Art? A colleague suggested that Lightfoot has Native blood. I could not find anything on Lightfoot's Native roots on the internet. One website stated that he is purely of Scottish decent and the Native blood story is a rumor. If you find something please let me know.
