Hi MHS, I did a quick looksee at Jay Silverheels bio and he has 3 sons and a daughter. He had on son with a woman named Edna Lickers, his name was Ron and that was when he was in Buffalo NY the year was unclear maybe late 30's early 40's. Then he married a woman named Bobbi Smith, married?-1943 and had a daughter. In 1945 he married Mary Diroma and was married to her until his death in 1980. And they had 2 sons, one named Jay Silverheels Jr. and the other I don't know the name.

This guy says he's 69 and the news article was written in 2009 so he would have been born in 1939-1940?? Oh, one more thing Jay Silverheels was born and raised in Canada as born Harold John Smith on the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, near Brantford, Ontario, Canada, one of 11 children. As far as I can see he was never on the Tonawanda Reservation NY. Maybe this Steve Silverheels is confused as he claimes he visited his father there. Hmmm.....Lots of red flags.

In the 2009—2010 thread about "Harold Hatcher and Splinter Group of Waccamaw", there is a long post mostly about Chief Steve Silverheels. The last link in that thread is the same as in the first post in today's discussion:

Received more information about the people surrounding Hatcher. Two people involved are "Rev Dr" Craig Talbot AKA One Who Talks to Doves and "Chief Steve Silverheels," who claims to be the son of the famous actor.

Talbot, a blond white man explaining how he builds his lodge.

Here Talbot blesses a colonel.

On the first video he says he is Waccama.w One account I received says the following:

"Again this man is not Native American...I know this because his aunt is my oldest daughter's godmother and my mother has a 30 year friendship with his aunt."

Silverheels has quite a few youtube videos.
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chief+silverheels&search_type=&aq=f

On his homepage he claims:
http://www.chiefsilverheels.org/home
"Chief Silverheels is a Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois Native American.
He comes from a long line of famous Native Americans.
His Heritage Includes:
Son of Actor Jay Silverheels, who starred as Tonto on the T.V. series The Lone Ranger.
Chief Trainer Halftown, who starred on the Pony Express series.
Chief Corn Planter, a Seneca War Chief
The Seneca Prophet, Handsome Lake, who turned his tribe and nation to Christianity."

Right. Only Handsome Lake wasn't Christian.

On his photos page, what's striking is that the only photos of his alleged father are publicity shots from TV. Looking for bios on Jay Silverheels, found the following.

http://www.filmreference.com/film/77/Jay-Silverheels.html
"Original name, Harold J. Smith; born c. 1918 (some sources say 1919), at SixNations Indian Reservation, Ontario, Canada; died of complications from pneumonia, March 5, 1980, in Woodland Hills, CA; son of A. G. E. Smith (a Canadianmilitary officer); married, wife's name, Mary; children: Marilyn, Pamela, Karen, Jay Anthony. Ethnicity: Mohawk."

No kids named Steve, and no mention of Seneca ancestry like "Steve Silverheels" claims.
A fan club site also discusses the women in Jay Silverheel's life and mentions that at least one of his kids carried his original last name of Smith, not the late changed name of Silverheels.
http://www.lonerangerfanclub.com/jaysilverheels.html

Steve's own account.
http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20091017/ARTICLES/910169968?Title=Son-of-American-Indian-actor-lives-a-spiritual-calling-in-Wilmington

I also wonder why Steve likes to wear plains warbonnets if he's supposedly Mohawk and Seneca.

The YouTube videos are still there. His homepage is permanently gone, and the last page snapshot archived (May 17, 2014) looks like this, containing the same text (and more) as was quoted above in 2009:
