Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., will return to Oklahoma City on Sunday, where she will meet with Native American groups as part of a reported effort to blunt continuing criticism over her past claims to have Native American heritage.
The 2020 hopeful, who was born in the city, will meet privately with tribal leaders -- where representatives from all of the approximately 40 federally recognized tribes in the state have been invited for the Sunday morning meeting. Later in the day she will hold a town hall meeting.
The meeting will reportedly focus on Warren’s agenda for the community and is also part of an effort to blunt the criticism she has faced for allegedly appropriating Native American culture.
“Elizabeth is looking forward to meeting with tribal leaders to discuss ways they can continue to work together on many important issues facing Indian Country. She believes in working on a Nation-to-Nation basis to uphold the United States’ solemn trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations and to build a brighter future for Indian Country,” a Warren spokeswoman told the outlet.
Warren infuriated Native American leaders last year when she released a DNA test that she said proved her past claims that she has Native American heritage. That claim had been mocked for years by conservatives, and particularly President Trump -- who has repeatedly nicknamed her “Pocahontas.”

I’m sick of this pandering to specially-privileged victim groups! lizz - you’re an American or shut up!
“Continue to work together”? What has this indian princess ever done for any tribe?
The DNA issue should be continuously brought up.
I’ll bet there is a black market for DNA and she’ll have another test done to deny the first one and confirm the source of cheeks.
I suspect Dizzy Lizzy is really trying to get one of the Indian nations to adopt her.
In other words, she’s going to try to bribe them into silence by promising them a bunch of government goodies if she is elected.
I just read where Fauxcahauntus brought tamales to immigrants at the border trying to get in the US.
What will she bring these Indians in Oklahoma? Firewater? Feathers for their headdress? Trinkets and beads?
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
I hope the Cherokee bury the hatchet in her evil skull.
Will she bring firewater for them from her fridge?
Why did we ever give them Citizenship? And why did we license Casinos for them? No good has ever come from either.
Funny. He was an Italian actor. He had as much Indian DNA as that low class broad warren.
Visiting with them again and again. She just can’t give it up.
Looking at is as a diversion....since she hasn’t one damn thing to say on real policy.
“Controversy”??? It’s not a controversy - it’s fraud.
