Not a good idea to piss the indians off.
Criticizing the Cherokees is not the best way to gain their vote.
Any doubt she’ll keep using the lie? What’s next? Her and a certain other dem sen teaming up to talk about their time in country dodging incoming fire during Tet? Oh, you didn’t know she was a nurse back then and they based the tv show China Beach on her time there? See, I can make crap up too.
Not a good idea to piss the indians off.
wow.
if liberals pay attention, they are about to learn a hard lesson. being native american is not so much about “race” but about affiliation. you are either in the tribe or not and Cherokees allow you to be in regardless of blood percentage, if you are a direct lineal descent from a tribal member. the current rolls were made in about 1920, and that is where you go to find out if you are eligible to be a member or not.
all of this talk about her miniscule blood percentage is truly non-sensical, not legally relevant and is in fact degrading to the Cherokees who know the rules that govern whether or not someone is Cherokee.
Hey if they pick off everybody who thinks he’s part Cherokee I reckon they’re in trouble.
The Bush Rule: “Pissing off your base is NOT a winning strategy”
It is curious that most of the fake Indians claim descent ONLY from the Cherokee Tribe, which is, after all, only one of some four or five hundred that populated the North American continent prior to 1492. And not all the tribes that were here when Columbus touched land for the first time in the Western Hemisphere arrived from the same source (a land bridge across the Bering Strait some 12,000 years ago). There is another ethnic group that lived around the North polar region, commonly called “Eskimos”, that were distributed from Siberia, to northern Alaska and Canada, around to Greenland, and completing the circle in the part of Scandinavia called Lapland. There is also evidence that some migration from the Pacific Islanders to the west coast of South America, in what is now Chile, also occurred, and very likely some ethnic Caucasians made their way westward along a glacier bridge from northern Europe into the lands of eastern Canada. The Ojibwa (Chippewa) are very different from their neighbors, the Plains Indians commonly known as the Sioux, and very nearly look European, if such differences may be quantified.
“American Indian” is actually a very poor descriptive term for the many ethnic strains that make up the New World people.
I bet with these new DNA tests, the Native Americans are probably having their hands full of people now claiming to be one of them. The casino tribes probably doubled..
I wish President Trump would take this opportunity to bring manufactures and Native American Tribes together. The creation of the Native American welfare state was the worst thing we have ever done and are still doing to them.
