The Cherokee Nation issued a statement Monday on Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren's DNA test results.
Sen. Warren released her DNA report in response to President Donald Trump taunting her for her saying she was part Native American.
Sen. Warren released her 23 and Me report and it stated that "the great majority of (Warren's) identifiable ancestry is European." However, the report adds, "The analysis also identified 5 genetic segments as Native American in origin at high confidence."
This afternoon the Cherokee Nation released a statement that said in part that DNA tests are useless in determining tribal citizenship and people using DNA to connect themselves to Cherokee Nation is inappropriate.
You can read the full statement below:
"A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America. Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation. Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is prove. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."
- Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin, Jr.

If you look at the Indian Tribes’ census records, they document every individual on what percentage Indian blood each person is. It’s in the realm of 1/4, 1/2, etc.. and on some who were living with them, it was ‘none’. It was important information to the tribes. They would not take to Warren doing what she did.. She can say no one can take it from her, but it’s fake. The Cherokee records would show her ancestors were not listed.
I have a distant family member who left Indiana for the Oklahoma territory. I traced them and found one of the daughters married an Indian and had a son. The son is listed as to his percentage of Indian blood and he considers himself Cherokee. That was years ago, but the records are still there..

Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.
Lie and cheat and there is a chance that it might come back to bite you in the rear.
There is hope for humanity, though. This little punishment for lying and cheating is small in comparison to all others who get away with it. However, even though it is small, it will have a significant impact.
This is the problem for the Democrat party. They have tolerated this kind of cheating for decades; forever? So it there are few Democrats without skeletons. However it is good that they party is finally having a reckoning. Now the question is, will they take it seriously or just blow it off and continue with the old ways.
BTW, Republicans are only marginally better.
Her name is “Princess Lie to Your Face.”
Probably the saddest part in all of this,aside from the fact that she is yet another liar democrap, is how Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton got a pass despite doing far worse.

The CHerokee Nation called it like they should have. I have Cherokee ancestry, too ... documented ... about the same amount as Elizabeth Warren. The family was all surprised to learn of it. But I have no connection to the tribe at all and would never make any such claim. She should have never gone there.
