:: revealing her DNA test results showing that she has less Native America DNA ::

We have to stop perpetuating this misleading line. Warren’s DNA test showed a broad spectrum of possibility that included Caribbean, south American, central American, north American, and sino-russian peoples.

The tribal councils have ALWAYS made it known that American Indian heritage is proven by lineage of blood and tribal pride, not chemical tests.

To a tribe, that heritage MUST be accompanied by proud personal actions encouraging the Indian heritage through generations. Dangling a “dream catcher” from your rear-view doesn’t count, kimosabe.

Many, like myself, have a provable lineage but, cultural values of my near-time ancestors eschewed the tribal pride needed to be included as “American Indian”.

[Verginius Rufus]

Very small percentages of ethnic ancestry in DNA tests are meaningless. 1/1024th would mean one ancestor 10 generations ago--from somewhere in the Western Hemisphere, not necessarily from anywhere in the present-day USA.

All her DNA test proved was that she has DNA...and that she doesn't have the political skills to survive a national campaign.
