Hey, no fair insulting the first place Indians like that.

Warren answered, “Because my mother told me so. This is how I live. My mother, my grandmother, my family. This is my family."

Elizabeth Warren's maternal grandmother was Bethania Crawford (wife of Harry Reed). Below is her ancestry. If Elizabeth is 1/32 Cherokee then her grandmother would be 1/8 Cherokee and one of her great grandparents would be full blooded Cherokee Indian. Which of the eight persons listed on the right does she claim to be a full blooded Cherokee Indian?

“She would be 1⁄32nd of Elizabeth Warren’s total ancestry,” noted genealogist Christopher Child said, referring to the candidate’s great-great-great-grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, who is listed on an Oklahoma marriage certificate as Cherokee. Smith is an ancestor on Warren’s mother’s side, Child said…

Interesting, since Oma was married in Tennessee and her ancestors were Irish and Swedish. ;-)

Warren said, “I am proud of my family and I am proud of my heritage.”

How can she be if she knows nothing about it?
