Is Elizabeth Warren Native American or What?
The Atlantic ^

Posted on 06/29/2016 6:18:48 PM PDT by bryan999

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.

Trump is more Native American than Lieawatha, he actually owned a Casino.

“Tonto” in Spanish means dumb or stupid.

Tonto is a fitting name for Warren.

I’m 1/16th Creek like in Trail of Tears survivor’s descendant. Could have gotten a small cash settlement in 1973 but never bothered. Have a few souvenirs & paintings I will pass on to the Creek Nation Museum someday.

Have not visited Oklahoma in decades. My cousins’ father was Cherokee so they called themselves “Cherocreeks’.

Cherokee genealogists have traced Lizzie Warren’s ancestry back to the War of 1812. Zero, zip, nada Indian blood. As an Okie City native she played on the old myth that every white in Oklahoma has some Indian ancestry. Not so.

Pure fakery, like Hillary trying to enlist in the Marine Corps.

Nobody cut open that butter box. I don’t want to see her knees.

Haha, you made me laugh! I was taught to do that in the 1980s by a gal who called herself a feminist and thought it was a hoot! Just imagine doing that today. It'd probably be considered a hate crime.

Yes. Had you claimed to be an Indian it might have got you admission to Harvard with a full scholarship when you were 18.
