Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Saturday her connection to her "indigenous heritage" was awakened while protesting the Dakota Access pipeline with Native American tribes at Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
Responding to a comment on Instagram, Ocasio-Cortez said she wanted to connect more with the ancestral roots of the Taíno, an indigenous people group of the Caribbean, and that American Indian tribes welcomed her as family.
"One of the things that first started awakening and connecting me in a deep to my indigenous heritage was connecting to the Lakota Sioux at Standing Rock," Ocasio-Cortez says in the video.

No, she doesn’t. That would require an education.
Chiquita Bananas.
Wouldn’t that be the black courtesy phone in her case?
I thought heritage was a bad word for progressives. Isn’t it racist?
She is a member of the donkey party.
AOC is a Sioux warrior?
I thought she was a White Hispanic.
I had an aunt who repeatedly dragged her blond haired, blue eyed son to Native American ceremonies and summer camps so that he could learn about her and his supposed heritage and culture. He hated it all, and describes it as going to the woods to learn odd dances, eat crummy food, and get eaten up by bugs. Several years after my aunt died, DNA tracing showed that her son did not have even a trace of Native American ancestry.
I remember AOC's dad on TV peddling Rich Corinthian Leather automotive upholstery.
Demon(rat)s are so small minded that they will fall for this garbage. They Demon-ically like to divide and conquer and their Demon(rat) followers fall for it. They like to Demon-ize people and things. And their small-minded followers fall for it.
Disgusting and Demon-ic.
😂
Dear Facebook
AOC’s family is from Puerto Rico. She is no more related to the Sioux than I am.
Did it include a sore butt and a quarter in her hand?
Why did she settle for Boston College when she could have gone to Harvard like the indigenous senator from Massachusetts?
So AOC is the funt that left hundreds of tons of trash and sewage on the reservation while “protecting” the planet. What a communist skank.
Chief Grey Beaver never went to Harvard. She got her undergraduate degree in speech pathology from the University of Houston, and her law degree from Rutgers.
Her phony status as a "Native American" got her a faculty position at the University of Pennsylvania, and from there she traded up to Harvard.
I recall reading long ago that she was getting $360K/year for teaching one course there. That was before she became a senator.
