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.

I am indigenous also. I was born on the Earth. So I am an indigenous earth-dweller. Her type of “indigenous” people would probably not accept me as I am a white. straight, Christian, conservative male. Could not care less what these people think. And I use the term “think” loosely, as they appear to have no rational thought processes.
She's not related to me.
That’s right, she got the JOB at Harvard because she is indigenous, not the education.
High cheek bones and all....
I salute you for a great post. Concisely presents the information that both sides were trashy scumbags.
I remember a TV talk show in possibly 1969 or so where Timothy Leary expounded upon the spiritual elegance and total superiority over the West of the Aztecs and their closeness to the earth and nature, blah blah. an anti-drug fellow in a suit and tie countered: Their drug use which went way up quickly at one point is the best explanation for their savagery in cutting open living people and sacrificing children. They never regained their cultural prominence. Leary looked sort of surprised but couldn't give a good rejoinder.
LOL. I like that. If it’s ok with you, I will use that again.
This woman has claimed all kinds of ancestry, I suspect she’s lying or exaggerating to some extent. Somebody needs to do a full background check on that nutcase.
Someone was shot and killed at the violent Standing Rock insurrection.
Her “people” are NOT indigenous.
What a fraud that guy was. Total charlatan.
I was thinking, “Brays like a Donkey”.
I have always been amazed at how quickly a person I thought was attractive can become ugly as sin the moment they speak.
She is pretty if your name is Mr. Ed. I think she is horse faced.
So her possible Taino roots makes her a sister to Lakota Sioux. Riiigghhhtt. A Sicilian from Palermo has a better chance of being related to a Swede from Malmo.
Since my wife is part American Indian (mother was a full-blooded Mohawk), I would be inclined to think the Lakota's were trying to inform AOC that she was of "indecent heritage"...
Most tribes would not condone those who carry diseases such as syphilis...
Lol.
With a name like Cortez you would think she would know to keep her mouth shut.
A whole world bitch.
Well, she doesn't care - she drives a Tesla. On our dime.
“In addition to indigenous and Hispanic roots, she has also claimed to have Jewish, European and Black ancestry.’
I knew it! She’s just another feral, mixed-mutt, er, I mean dog from the streets of New York.
Somebody call NYC’s animal control and feel that Bitch on a lease.
Exactly.
Some dimbulb liberals at Yahoo love her, though.
Saw their posts last year’s.
