Elizabeth Warren releases DNA analysis backing Native American ancestry claims

Senator Elizabeth Warren has released an analysis of her DNA showing that she has Native American blood.

An analysis of Warren's DNA sample showed she had a Native American ancestor in her family dating back six to 10 generations. The release of the analysis comes after President Trump has mocked her repeatedly for her claim that she has Native American blood and called her "Pocahontas." Critics have charged that Warren has advanced her career with a narrative she is a descendant of Cherokee and Delaware tribes.

A report released Monday says that the majority of Warren's ancestry is European but there is strong evidence to suggest that she has a Native American ancestor. A Stanford professor, Carlos D. Bustamante, who was awarded a MacArthur genius grant for his work tracking population migration via DNA, performed the analysis of the DNA, according to Warren's office.

The report notes with 99 percent confidence that five genetic segments on DNA were identified as "Native American in origin."

Warren's office also released a video to YouTube, "Elizabeth Warren's family story," which directly addresses the attacks on her heritage by the President and includes interviews with her family. A "Fact Squad" website with links to the DNA report and supporting documents was also launched.

Funny, I don’t see what % she is, isn’t that standard on these analyses? 1%, 2%, what’s the true number.

Liberals. They are going nuts about it at my favorite liberal site. They don’t understand that for those of us on the right, it wasn’t that the claim may be false. It was that it was made, Kinda like Kerry bringing up his Vietnam record.

And I see this a bit like checking an old $20 bill for cocaine. You are almost guaranteed to find it.

So she finds a 43 year old Venezuelan who works with Obama’s beer summit friend, Skippy. So she now has her “non” proof. It is a closed box, will she let others test this, or look at the supposed evidence?

...she had a Native American ancestor in her family dating back six to 10 generations.

Translation from MSM speak. If you go back 300 years (30 years per generation x 10 generations) you can find evidence of American Indian ancestry. That same level of proof would likely be found in about 90% of the planet’s inhabitants.

if it’s back 6-10 generations, it’s way less than 1%.

One ancestor, 6 to 10 generations back (which doesn’t strike me as very precise), would contribute between about 1.5% and about 0.1% of a person’s DNA.

I read the report, and it’s soooo weak. The report says that Warren may have had a single Native American ancestor 6-10 generations ago. What a crock—I also have Native Americans in my ancestry, but I don’t claim to be Native American!

A Stanford professor is hardly a non-partisan player

And I’m African American. Somehow I don’t think that population would appreciate my less than 1% heritage. Lol

Sorry, Elizabeth Warren, nobody can trust Democrats. They just have too many lies, frauds and hoaxes. We need a neutral party to take the sample and test it to believe.

Strong evidence? Either you are or you are not.

Exactly. My dad has the same tiny percentage of AmerInd DNA, but never in a million years would he try to claim to be one to take advantage of a quota.

Liz Warren is WHITE. Any other claim by her is a lie, and she knows it.

if her ancestor is 10 generations back, she could be just 1/512th Native American.

Not even close

Even in Mia Farrow submits DNA to 23 and me she’ll find that she’s at least 2% black.
