Cherokee Nation issues statement on Sen. Elizabeth Warren's DNA test results
NBC - Tulsa ^ | 15 Oct 18 | Sarah Dewberry

Posted on 10/15/2018 3:22:58 PM PDT by SkyPilot

The Cherokee Nation issued a statement Monday on Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren's DNA test results.

Sen. Warren released her DNA report in response to President Donald Trump taunting her for her saying she was part Native American.

Sen. Warren released her 23 and Me report and it stated that "the great majority of (Warren's) identifiable ancestry is European." However, the report adds, "The analysis also identified 5 genetic segments as Native American in origin at high confidence."

This afternoon the Cherokee Nation released a statement that said in part that DNA tests are useless in determining tribal citizenship and people using DNA to connect themselves to Cherokee Nation is inappropriate.

You can read the full statement below:

"A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America. Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation. Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is prove. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."

- Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin, Jr.

Well, there goes the whole, “I identify as an Indian” thing.

Next.

One part of me says good for them to be proud of their heritage and looking to exclude fauxcahontas, the other part of me says really, who cares what percentage this or that, are we still being dragged down by these questions in a society where, frankly, the only real test should be personal ability in any field of endeavour, including politics.

Right now, we have a very able man as president, and that is the only thing that should matter in 2020; if the Democrats could find an able challenger, then bring him or her on, but at the rate that party has degenerated, the bar is set very low indeed for them. Really, when you start looking at how a leading contender thinks she can gain an advantage by claiming (perhaps in exaggeration) to be one-thirty-third Cherokee, then you have to wonder, what do they bring to the table? I could be one-thirty-third German but it doesn’t make me super well organized.

My nephew and niece are on the Cherokee rolls and both have scholarships through the tribe as they pursue their M.D.

This chick should be politically scalped.

Warren has been and wanted to prove so badly she was Indian so she could claim Native American privilege.

Libs won’t care. In their world she’s legit just because she identifies and is part of the socialist plan.

Remember Rachel Dolezal.

Bravo to the Cherokee Nation.

If you can’t link to a Dawes Roll registrant you don’t count as a Cherokee.

So did Warren defraud Harvard, or collude with Harvard to defraud the government?
