Oscar-nominated actor Edward Norton has discovered that the real-life Pocahontas, the romanticized and mythologized 17th century daughter of a Native American chief, is his 12th great-grandmother.

“It just makes you realize what a small … piece of the whole human story you are,” Norton remarked following the revelation.

Also discovered was that Norton’s third great-grandfather, John Winstead, owned a family of slaves including a 55-year-old man, a 37-year-old woman and five young girls.

Asked what it was like to see a census that confirmed his relative was a slave owner, the “Fight Club” actor said: “The short answer is these things are uncomfortable. And you should be uncomfortable with them.”
