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.

Boston Globe Update and Correction: Elizabeth Warren Is 1/1,024 Native American… NOT 1/512
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RACE
And, FWIW, these DNA tests are less about what than from where.
His mother was not Stanley Ann Dunham.
Funny how the Democrats used to consider People with “one drop” of Negro Blood the same as Animals.
Oh how times change.
My mom said her grandfather had some Indian blood. Where are my reparations?
From the article it seems that she had whole genome sequencing, not just a sampling of SNPs (like 23&me). This cost a lot of money and time. It shows how important the issue is to her campaign. Therefore unlikely to be falsified. But using such minimal admixture is totally illegitimate. She must apologize
Which means that POTUS Trump should cut a Check to Warren’s favorite “charity” for $976.56.
Now which “charity” would that be. Starving Children, saving the Whales, Homelessness?
Naw, I’ll bet Planned Parenthood is at the top of her list.
My mom's side is German and Italian. I'm not sure where the French came from. Possibly French Normans on my dad's side.
I have .9% Middle Eastern. That is the only possible place I might have Cherokee ancestry if what I have read about ancient Cherokee ancestry being Middle Eastern from Jewish and other lineages is true.
Who was his mother?
Don't be too sure......
Hmmm...
Seems to me that a Great-Great-Great Grandmother of Elizabeth (who’s no spring chicken), would put that ancestor in the late 1700s (IF it was the 1/32 blood and not the 1/512 blood, which would be WAY further back), which means they were in the Carolinas — NOT Oklahoma. So, while the Cherokees were forced to go to Oklahoma Territory between 1837 and 1839, I’d like to see more detail about the lineage.
Seems a bit of a stretch...
It should be 1/1,024 proves she is NOT native American.
It's there.
Democratus Ignoramus.
Lol, you’re probably right about PP.
Science deniers always deny the science... by definition.
“Cherokee” tends to be the generic term for any tribe.
The 1850 US Census lists race/color. Wonder what hers says.
Valerie Sarruf, an Egyptian.
6 generations would be 1.5 percent. 10 would be 0.1 percent.
