I can see why he got into genetics. Probably wanted to figure out why his face starts half way down his skull.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has released an analysis of her DNA showing that she has Native American blood.
An analysis of Warren's DNA sample showed she had a Native American ancestor in her family dating back six to 10 generations. The release of the analysis comes after President Trump has mocked her repeatedly for her claim that she has Native American blood and called her "Pocahontas." Critics have charged that Warren has advanced her career with a narrative she is a descendant of Cherokee and Delaware tribes.
A report released Monday says that the majority of Warren's ancestry is European but there is strong evidence to suggest that she has a Native American ancestor. A Stanford professor, Carlos D. Bustamante, who was awarded a MacArthur genius grant for his work tracking population migration via DNA, performed the analysis of the DNA, according to Warren's office.
The report notes with 99 percent confidence that five genetic segments on DNA were identified as "Native American in origin."
Warren's office also released a video to YouTube, "Elizabeth Warren's family story," which directly addresses the attacks on her heritage by the President and includes interviews with her family. A "Fact Squad" website with links to the DNA report and supporting documents was also launched.

Nowhere near close enough to get her registered with a tribe.

Warren claimed she was 1/32nd Indian.

Well that settles it. She must now be the Democrat’s nominee for President in 2020.

Warren is using a minuscule amount of Native American DNA to claim she is Indian.
My dog probably has more Native American DNA that she does.
I checked mine and it came back Pinot Grigio and Margherita pizza.
You could qualify for minority status and government asides. There are no thresholds, either you are or you are not.
Strong evidence to suggest? What kind of gobbledygook is that? It tells me nothing. She either has Native American ancestry or doesn't. If she does, what's the percentage (and is it more than your average American has)?
I am 1/16 Ojibwa-Potowatamie.
I don’t care...do you?
And, 100% US citizen.
MAGA
For Native American references, we used samples within the 1000 Genomes project of Native American ancestry; these samples come from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia. (It is not possible to use Native American reference sequences from inside the United States, since Native American groups within the US have not chosen to participate in recent population genetics studies.)
Those DNA companies are a scam
She claimed to be Cherokee...where is her census/tribal number? The Cherokee tribe does not accept DNA for membership, you must document a direct line to a tribal member or someone on the Final Roll, or other designated roll.
Many, many of us have Native American ancestry that does not mean we are actually Native American or can claim to be for gain. Each tribe has their own membership requirements. In order to claim NA status legitimately you must be a tribal member or some tribes use blood quantum cards for people who are not enough to be tribal members- but even then she would not qualify as far back as it is on her report.
If she claimed to be Cherokee for government documents she would have to provide a tribal census number showing her membership in a tribe. It would be illegal to make the claim otherwise.
If she claimed to be a Cherokee for University job purposes and for political purposes that is not illegal but it is immoral and dishonest.
Family stories and even DNA showing NA ancestry does not make you Native American. I have that and it is not enough to make a legitimate claim.
In a perfect world the Cherokee tribe would call her out on it, embarrass her. In the real world nearly all the NAs I know are Democrats so they have already stated she is not a tribal member but doubt they will come out against her. In a perfect world the University would call her out for using it to give her minority status; we all know that won’t happen.
You can bet if a Republican claimed minority status on the basis of ancestry several generations back the dims would use it to crucify them.
This is another thing a Democrat is going to get a pass on when they shouldn’t.
As President Trump just said this morning, “Who cares?”
BTW, as a person who has watched a lot of soap operas, switching or otherwise sabotaging DNA results is a pretty hackneyed trick.
Pocahantas probably paid off some lab to produce the results she wanted.
Turns out I actually have about 5-10% of Native American DNA, all of which came from very non Native American looking relatives who were very proud of their English and French Canadian very early American explorer heritages dating back to the very first waves of French and English men to come to America.
Turns out that I'm a lot more Native American than Lizzy Warren and they would put me in jail for fraud if I tried to use that ancestry for Affirmative Action purposes or to get preferential treatment on government contracts like Lizzy did.
Just for the fun I would love to have the militant French Canadian population of Canada DNA tested because there was a lot of intermixing between early French settlers and Native Americans. Those old French guys really got around.
Contrary to the false narratives promoted by the revisionist historians of the identity politics movement, most Native American tribes were wiped out or massacred by evil white settlers, they simply assimilated into the early American society which generally accepted them with open arms. In reality, there were a multitude of small Native American tribes in the Eastern seaboard, most all of whom were in such bitter, protracted wars with each other that their tribes were in danger of collapse. Many allied with equally at risk European settlers for their mutual protection
The most humorous and ironic part about all of this is that one Barak H Obama, our First Black President, is half “White” on his mothers Dunham side.
From what I gather, the Dunham lineage goes back to early settlers with family history not that different from mine.
I'd put decent money on a wager that Barak Obama is more Indian (ie has more Native American DNA in his genetic makeup) than Lizzy Warren
23andMe was founded by the left-wing extremist, Anne Wojcicki. Her two sisters are Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube and a former executive at Google and Janet Wojcicki, anthropologist and epidemiologist at the University of California, San Francisco. She was married to the extremist left-wing democrat, Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google (now a subsidiary of the parent company, Alphabet).
OK, but did she issue an apology for lying while she was at it?
oops
“most Native American tribes were wiped out or massacred by evil white settlers, they simply assimilated into the early American society”
should be
“most Native American tribes were NOT wiped out or massacred by evil white settlers, they simply assimilated into the early American society”
Contaminated sample. (on purpose)
