Robbie Robertson is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Guitarist-songwriter of The Band ('The Weight').
Robbie Robertson was the guitarist and songwriter of The Band, known for 'The Weight'. His mother was Cayuga and Mohawk, and his biological father, Alexander David Klegerman, was a Jewish American; his mother revealed this paternity to him at age 12, and he was later welcomed by his Jewish uncles. His heritage was thus both Indigenous (maternal) and Jewish (paternal).
