A descendant of Pocahontas, the 17th-century Powhatan princess, said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) needs to apologize for claiming to be Native American for political gain.
Appearing on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Debbie White Dove Porreco said she was glad the Massachusetts Democrat finally took the DNA test, which she urged her to do back in May.
"It did prove that she wasn't the Cherokee Indian that she was claiming to be for so long," Porreco said on the program Tuesday. "I think she's guilty of claiming she's an American Indian but has no proof -- and then [is] using it for applications for college and for political reasons."
"She needs to... apologize to everybody for what she has done," Porreco said.

It’s a pretty sure bet she won’t be hearing “Hail to the Chieftain” when she enters a room any time soon.
Okay, how about 1/2 Mil to the NRA and 1/2 Mil to a Native American scholarship fund (that requires sufficient authentication to prevent heritage theft by unscrupulous lawyers).
I believe that’s “chiefette”.
Hey, it just goes to show we Freepers aren’t guilty of zombie-like groupthink!!!
The woman who appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show last night was well-spoken and quiet. She was clearly not an extroverted person.
I have had many friends, and schoolmates who are Native American (mostly Pima, Yaqui, and Navaho). All of these people are overall very quiet, and when they speak, they speak laconically. They are particularly reserved if they’re surrounded by loud and talkative non-Native Americans. This is very characteristic of Native American culture.
Uhh.
I think we have ANOTHER phony Indian in the woodpile.
According to my research, the real Pocahontas had only one child, Thomas,
by her English Cousin and she died in England while Thomas disappeared into obscurity. (?)
Also, Pocahontas was a Powhatan not a Cherokee.
