:: A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a persons ancestors were indigenous to North or South America...
Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any 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 proven.
Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.

AWESOME! Please do DRAG to new thread! I’m among the most electronically challenged of all, so much so that I shouldn’t even be posting on Q Thread. I appreciate you.
