Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has remained unscathed by her false claims to Native American heritage. That’s in part due to the fact that she’s from deep blue Massachusetts. She was able to dodge this accusation of false heritage to win a U.S. Senate seat. Yet, over time, local publications have been bringing pressure to Warren’s racial hoax. Guy wrote about the Boston Globe putting on their front page how this false claim to the Cherokee Nation made by Warren could have lasting political ramifications, though more centered on a possible 2020 run rather than her 2018 re-election.
Some members of the Cherokee Nation are rightfully upset over Warren’s claim that she’s Native American. In November of 2017, Rebecca Nagle, an actual Native American woman, ripped Warren, writing an essay in Think Progress saying:
"She was not a hero to me when she failed to foster a haven of support for Native students within Harvard University’s alienating Ivy League culture. She is not a hero for spending years awkwardly avoiding Native leaders. She is not a hero because, despite claiming to be the only Native woman in the U.S. Senate, she has done nothing to advance our rights. She is not from us. She does not represent us. She is not Cherokee.
The controversy over Warren’s identity stems from the 1990s, when Warren was a professor at Harvard Law School. The university promoted her and celebrated her as the first minority woman to receive tenure. When the Boston press dug up these reports during Warren’s campaign for Senate in 2012, she stated she didn’t know why Harvard had promoted her as Native American. It appears that Warren categorized herself as a minority when it served her career and later dropped the marker after gaining tenure."

She ain’t white, she’s NEON white.
If she runs for the WH she'll either claim to have done it or cry "racist" whenever anyone brings it up.
Why hasn’t someone picked up her water cup and had it done private lab style?
I think she would have dropped the bomb already if she had taken a DNA test and had Indian blood no matter how small the amount. With Trump taunting her, I’m sure she couldn’t have resisted .... it’s all about her grand self!
Alfred E. Nuemann in drag.
Before I took any DNA tests I watched some YouTube videos by people knowledgeable about the subject. One issue that came up was people with well-documented American Indian ancestry (paper trail) whose DNA test did not show any Indian ancestry. It can happen.
Plus different companies may give you wildly different breakdowns of your ethnic ancestry.
Of course any attempt to embarrass Liz Warren is all to the good.
That might not be the way to go about it. Cherokee are different and did look different (although not like Warren at all).
Cherokee DNA

Researching genealogy would probably be a better approach, and in her case, would probably yield results or lack or evidence.
For what Cherokee look like, more or less, see Dana Loesch: the spokeswoman of the NRA. I’ve seen many others in the part of our country that I came from. Most have near ancestors who chose to avoid the Trail of Tears and Oklahoma.
People with much real Cherokee DNA are often tall (but not always) with black, fine hair (not coarse like Apache or Sioux), very light skin if not exposed much to sunlight (otherwise, darker than most white people) brown eyes (which moms referred to in children as “black eyes,” little insight there), broad shouldered, but with more European facial features...somewhat, than other American Indians of the western or southern types. And much more light complected than other Indians if not in the sun much (otherwise, easily dark).
Why go into Warren’s ancestry or her claim about Cherokee heritage, anyway? Those of us who weren’t on reservations or taught to be Indians are not really Indians. It’s the nation, not the race. That decision was made by most Cherokee long ago, to assimilate with Europeans, who were closer in important cultural customs than Indians further to the west or south. Many chose the surnames Wilson or Davis (don’t know why), but there were other names.
And Indians from other Indian nations moved onto the Cherokee reservation even before the forced march to that reservation and have ever since.
IMO, we should stop digging up graves for vanity, romantic ideas about race or disputes, and go on to do more important things.
You know that we’re all “Heinz 57s” anyway. Everyone’s mixed. It’s culture that matters, and our culture is American (U.S.A.!).
The best thing to do about the likes of Warren is to stop paying attention to her. Ask the mainstream media people why they publicize her unhealthy addicted to attention, when no one wants to know about her. She’s a feminist, so talk around to her—not to her or about her.
she submitted a plagiarized recipe for that book.
Gotta have witnesses to the testing and someone has to ensure no cheaters.
“Why go into Warren’s ancestry or her claim about Cherokee heritage, anyway?”
Did you read the post?
EW claimed Indian ancestry so she say she was a member of a minority just when Harvard Law was trying to fill out their ‘diversity’ declaration - she hooked a $350K salary (for teaching one course), likely due to her claims of being of Indian descent.
Not only do many of us despise her politics, we despise her duplicity.
EW’s claims have been totally debunked, even by the tribe she claims - matter of fact, it turns out her great great grandfather might have actually been one of the soldiers that drove the indians along the trail of tears..
The chest fur was a nice touch.
Well, in any case, I hope the people of Massachusetts get her out of there. America has suffered too much under the blight of feminism.
