Elizabeth Warren is not a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
Elizabeth Warren is not enrolled in the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
And Elizabeth Warren is not one of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.
Nor could she become one, even if she wanted to.
Despite a nearly three week flap over her claim of "being Native American," the progressive consumer advocate has been unable to point to evidence of Native heritage except for a unsubstantiated thirdhand report that she might be 1/32 Cherokee. Even if it could be proven, it wouldn't qualify her to be a member of a tribe: Contrary to assertions in outlets from The New York Times to Mother Jones that having 1/32 Cherokee ancestry is "sufficient for tribal citizenship," "Indian enough" for "the Cherokee Nation," and "not a deal-breaker," Warren would not be eligible to become a member of any of the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes based on the evidence so far surfaced by independent genealogists about her ancestry.

Don’t ask me.
I got my attitude from my step dad’s mom. She was full Cherokee, res born and raised in Oklahoma.
That attitude is:
If you’ve got to hyphenate your identity, you’re neither nor. Pick a team and stick.
Btw, she identified as American, no hyphen. Same with her kids and grandkids (my step dad and step brother among them).
Can you say CASINO MONEY from the white man? LOL!
True.
Observably stupid is another thing the left loves in its idols.
They figured out that Max Planck was a 1/64 mischlinge.
The interesting thing is that her great great Grandfather was involved in the March of Death, when they forced the Indians to relocate to Oklahoma.
No doubt she has had the test. IF it was positive we would have heard about it by now.
She’s 100 percent liar. Just like Hillary.
Also useless.

A simple DNA test can break down her heritage. She should have done this already. Maybe she doesn’t want to know the truth after all of her claims.
She was born in Oklahoma, which can be a clue that there is some heritage. She should take the test..it often reveals surprising results!
I’m more ‘injun’ than she is. Serioisly.
Eeyup
I believe she’s from the Bitchewa tribe.
Yes. My German/English cousin found out she was 1/8 Swedish.
The only thing we could figure is some Viking landed and stayed in England long enough to have offsprings ;-)
That whole "native" thing is corrupted English anyway; anyone born her is a NATIVE AMERICAN!
We had the same joke in our high school.
Is she an American?
Not me, white man.
I’ve seen bloody snot with more integrity than Hillary and Warren put together.
