Cherokee Nation responded to Elizabeth Warrens latest stunt attempting to prove she is of Native American descent.
This didnt go well
A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a persons ancestors were indigenous to North or South America, Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskins Jr. Said. 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 proven, the statement said.
The end of the statement torched Elizabeth Warren.
Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage. OUCH!

time to scalp the white woman with forked tongue..
Warren is a complete fool
Trump was no longer teasing her on the “pocohontas” thing, but like the asinine mainstream media, she just couldn’t let it go.
She had to put herself back in the news with this ridiculous stunt, just to destroy her reputation one more time!
I bet Trump didn’t even imagine Warren would stupidly come back for more!
Ma Squaw just got a Tomahawk Chop.
Greatest self-own in history!
Perhaps. But I suspect if Senator Warren offered those tribes heap-um free benefits and booze they may sing a different tune.
Unfortunate choice of words in the title.
Wow. This is really going to put the Democrats in a bind. Who are they going to believe now, the Cherokee Nation or the Cherokee Senator?
It’s Gateway Pundit, they said it exactly the way they wanted to say it.... savagely! :^)
Did they really have to use the word SAVAGES in the headline?
Cherokees will not even participate in DNA resting. The base DNA hers was compared to was from South America. I wonder if the guy interpreting the DNA test was the same guy who gave the polygraph test to Blasey Ford?
Seems the Cherokees aren’t as stupid as Fauxcohantus thinks.
If the Republicans had the guts, what a great scathing political ad this situation would make.
But, Porky Pig won’t want to “upset the independents” probably.
Being enrolled tribal can mean a sizable paycheck.
The tribes don’t want to get flooded with wannabees. Many tribes are increasing the percentage and not allowing children of tribal memebers to have a full membership.
Many tribes don’t allow transfers for full enrollment, only healthcare and housing benefits.
These casinos are definitely affecting native solidarity.
“Savages”.
Hoo boy.
