I can’t determine if they’re coming from Talequah, OK or Cherokee, NC. Either way, they’ve been requesting a meeting to show their genealogical research to her that demonstrates no Cherokee ancestry nor even the possibility of it, and Warren has refused.
There’s some self-promotion involved, imho, with Twila Barnes. She’s “7/32” Cherokee, I doubt she lives on the reservation, eastern or western. A less charitable description would have her being a “Wannabee” herself. She doth protest too much.
Like Elizabeth Warren didn't already know that, if she were at all honest with herself. It would be like my saying I'm African-American, and my "evidence" is that my mother gets really tan in the summer and someone back in Missouri once said my crazy alcoholic great-uncle was "worthless as a {redacted}."
It's a very Obama situation ... she fabricated a whole identity for herself, from a need to feel "special" and for financial gain, and now it's defended both by her and by those who fell for it, like Harvard Law School. It's that, or admit they hired [voted for] an incompetent candidate, simply because of racial claims.
