What is Angelina Jolie's ethnic background?

Question

In a statement released Friday, Jolie fumes, "I would never work with anyone that was derogatory towards another man's race. My family is of mixed race."

I have googled the devil out of this quote, but I can't seem to find out what, exactly, those races are.

I think she's American & French & Native American (Iroquois). I think her mom (Marcheline Bertrand) was born in France but it says on Wikipedia that her mom is part quebecois (French-Canadian) & Native. It also says her dad (Jon Voight) is of German ancestry but IMDB says that Jon Voight's grandfather is Czech. IMDB also lists Jolie's mother as partly Haudenosaunee (a native tribe) instead of Iroquois) but it seems that more sources say her mom is part Iroquois & dad is Czech
