While I believe Elizabeth Warren's claim to Cherokee ancestry is entirely bogus, a DNA test would not be a fool-proof way to determine the truth. If you go back several generations you have ancestors from whom you have inherited no DNA--but you would not exist if they had never lived.
I have watched some YouTube videos about DNA tests--there are people with well-documented American Indian ancestry but it does not show up in the DNA results.

On the other hand, she does have well documented ancestry on the other side of the Trail Of Tears story.

Bingo.....my grandmother was full blooded Choctaw and when I got my results from 23&Me there was zero Native American.....I handed my brother the results and he looked up at me and said “so Mama Black didn’t exist?” I laughed and said evidently not.....I think these sites that you send your spit into are bogus.....just saying...

You can be sure of two things:
The first is that Warren has already had a DNA test performed but in a stealthy way.
Probably under an assumed name.
The second is that the results do not back her claim of Cherokee heritage.
If the results did back her claim she would have had a second, aboveboard, test made under her own name and made the results public to shut down her critics.
