Help me with your perspective

However, the catch is that he was born in Sweden after his family fled America.

I wonder, how does he remain Native American if he wasn't born in America? Does this mean he's just indigenous?

Up to this point, I've been getting by with referring to him as the last of his tribe.

This is probably a good place for terms like “American Indian” to come into play. Or, better still, the name of the actual tribe in question.
