[even as a Native American woman present at the event]
Does anyone know what % Native American the woman is?
“Does anyone know what % Native American the woman is?”
The article says something about 1/3. I don’t think Warren ever claimed 1/3 but there it is.
A while back I actually found her ancestry. Forget where actually. You can google it, I guess. Found a great-grandfather, I think, who was on an Indian reservation in the Oklahoma territory.
Apparently, back in the day, you had to register with the Tribe to be recognized and receive whatever benefits you were entitled to. Warren’s ancestors did not and the Tribe does not recognize her. And you have to, or are supposed to, be recognized by a Tribe before you can claim ancestry.
Really.
