Ditto.
This is my grandfather. I don't think anyone in my family has ever declared anything for a place in line or benefits. We all check white. Most Americans are 100% mutt.
Heritage is a funny thing. I can trace my Georgia ancestors back to before the Civil War, mostly through stuff my mom gave me like obituaries, news clippings and records from my grand dad. On my father’s side, things are much more sketchy because that side of the family was from South Carolina sharecropping origin and not much in the way of records are available.
I have one picture of the women from my father’s family that must have been taken in the early 1900s. My grandmother is very young in it. Her mother is there also who family lore says was 1/2 Cherokee. She looked like she could be - heck, even my grandma for that matter. That would make me 1/16th Cherokee. However, outside of mostly joking about it in posts, etc. I have never, ever tried to trade on it, and I have always listed myself as ‘white’ on forms when it is asked.
Given Warren’s taking advantage of unproven lore, it just reinforces to me the vainess and scheming that is ingrained in most Democrats.
My mother's family tree includes a number of names such as Naquin, Picou and Billiot, all common among Indian-French families in central and south Louisiana (and those ancestors lived in parishes where members of the Houma tribe were known to reside).
Have I ever claimed to be part "Native American"? No. But I'll bet I could put forward a more convincing case than Warren.
