He was raised by his single mother Toni Goree (who’s probably Afro Nova Scotian) https://powder-la.com/blogs/news/eli-goree
Found this video of Facebook which might be her, she also has M’ikmaq First Nations she says with the same name. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=965698100556907&vanity=haligonia&http_ref=eyJ0cyI6MTc3ODM2MDE5MzAwMCwiciI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbVwvIn0%3D
He is probably of Black Nova Scotian descent, as The Rock, but I didn’t add it since I didn’t find any information about his genealogy.
