Is she Irish-American as well as Ojibwa? What is her mother's name?
I'm assuming that Peggy Flanagan she was given her mother's surname due to the fact that her father was not involved in raising her. Her mother (as far as I can tell from photos) is unambiguously white. Flanagan also named her daughter Siobhan, a well-known Irish girl's name. This would all seem to suggest that she is an Irish-American both by definition and through her own cultural affiliations. (Flanagan is an Irish surname, for those who aren't aware.) If this is indeed the case, the article should state as much. The list of categories should also be expanded to include the relevant Irish-American related lists.

Still, I'd like to rule out the possibility, however unlikely, that the Flanagan surname came into her family as the result of adoption or remarriage to an Irish-American stepfather somewhere along the line. Or (also unlikely but still possible), that Marvin Manypenny was born Marvin Flanagan. Which could reflect distant Irish ancestry on his part, but as I mentioned, stepfathers and adoptions make surefire assumptions about surnames an impossible task.
