Shelly Lowe, executive director of Harvard University's Native American Program (HUNAP), told Breitbart News today that U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren had not, to her knowledge, participated in the program's events while Warren was a professor at Harvard.
Last week, Warren explained that she had listed herself as Native American "in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something that might happen with people who are like I am." However, she had not been involved in HUNAP, the most obvious avenue for meeting fellow Native American faculty and students.
Warren, who is the Democratic challenger to incumbent Republican Scott Brown, claims that she has a great-great-great-grandmother who was Cherokee. That claim has yet to be substantiated by evidence beyond family lore, and Warren herself has no formal tribal membership.
She had listed herself as Native American in the 1980s, but stopped doing so in the mid-1990s, claiming that she never encountered others with similar backgrounds: "Nothing like that ever happened, that was clearly not the use for it and so I stopped checking it off."
HUNAP is a visible presence at Harvard, a university whose 17th-century charter dedicates the school "to the education of the English and Indian youth of this country."

I think Hannibal got to Sicily before the Moops did.
I'm thinking bigger. Same as you I am also MOT (member of the Tribe) and I want a casino
That couldn't be true. He would've eaten them all.
My gransmother had curly, dark hair and brown eyes. Can I claim black genes too? Then I can be a victim too!!!
You’re way out of date.
1. How to be a sovereign nation within the United States unless you’re voting or need honkey’s money.
2. How to have discriminatory hiring practices while complaining that you don’t get enough free stuff from the honkeys.
3. Yes, the honkey government can pay for our religious practices with no screaming from the liberals.
4. Everything the white man builds on our reservation is ours and we’ll use it and then make you pay us for putting it there.
5. We can steal from our tribe members.
6. Investigate us? Try building a case from all those burned records. You call it arson, we call it getting rid of the evidence.
7. You have no say in our government, but we get to have a say in the honkey government.
8. Why paint or clean house when the honkeys will build you a new house?
I have been in downtown Chicago, LA, New York, Atlanta, Seattle and Dallas and I was never called a honkey until I went on an indian reservation. We would be money ahead to give every one of them $50,000 and shut down the BIA and every reservation. It would be better for them, too. The Democrats throw them a bone and they lick their hands to thank them.
