From the BOSTON HERALD:

Elizabeth Warren’s embattled campaign: Cherokee tie found 5 generations ago

EXCERPT:


Desperately scrambling to validate Democrat Elizabeth Warren’s Native American heritage amid questions about whether she used her minority status to further her career, the Harvard Law professor’s campaign last night finally came up with what they claim is a Cherokee connection — her great-great-great-grandmother.

She would be 1/32nd of Elizabeth Warren’s total ancestry,” noted genealogist Christopher Child said, referring to the candidate’s great-great-great-grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, who is listed on an Oklahoma marriage certificate as Cherokee. Smith is an ancestor on Warren’s mother’s side, Child said.

How! White Squaw princess not Cherokee enough to be honorary member of tribe. No smoke-um peace pipe.
In all seriousness why do we care at all?

Disclaimer: the above is not intended offend to any native Americans. I'm part Cherokee myself, but you have to be 1/8 to be a officially Cherokee.

“She would be 1/32nd of Elizabeth Warren’s total ancestry,”

That's just slightly less than Soetoro's American citizenship ancestry.

Give the tribe wouldn’t recognize her or even her parent’s “claim,” it’s true shameful for her have claimed “minority” status for employment purposes.
