Can you clarify this question, please?

Are you:

a) Asking whether this person, specifically is an "American Indian"? (Which is a somewhat outdated term)?

b) Asking something else which you have not articulated clearly? (In which case, try again).

c) Trolling? (In which case, don't).
a) from anywhere on the continent
Isn't this ruled out by Q10
No, a non-Slavic non-Romanian who died after 1850 would still be possible.

Which continent?

There is no such continent as "Amerindia".
I specified "a)", where you defined the term as an alternative to "American Indian". The continent in question is therefore obviously America. I'm not sure what the confusion is. The term 'Amerindian' is commonly used in academia and can be looked up in a dictionary:

Those guesses were a waste since they were both raised Christian.

Q10 just told us that she was not a Western or Central European royal (unless she died after 1850). But the question is now moot since we know that she was not born in Europe.

Based on the Merriam Webster definition you just linked to, which defines it as "American Indian" I will answer:

No, this person was not an "American Indian" in the sense of an indigenous Native American person.

Free clue:
She was married, but not to a politician, and in any case, her fame is not related to her husband; she is more famous than him.
