She speaks like she is proud to be a native american, that she won’t hide it, but will demonstrate her heritage through her life.
The problem with this latest version is that she has never done anything publicly to honor that heritage. In fact, she was so secretive about it that her own campaign, when they did their own research into her background to see if anything would cause trouble, found NO references to her indian heritage.
They were blindsided by this information when it came out. So, how can you be “proud” of your heritage and yet keep it so secret that nobody knows about it until the dig around in your past?
In light of the fact that she hasn’t made it public, you have to ask why she told her employer and other groups. That’s why it looks like she was using it for advantage — the only organizations that knew about her “heritage” were those for which that knowledge would gain her advantage.
It wasn’t on her campaign website, or in any Bio she had publicized. She didn’t think it important — but she told Harvard?
That's an excellent point.
