Look at Arizona’s electoral map. The najavo nation is always a blue stain.

These grifters just want more free stuff from the government, the perfect example of the pernicious effects of welfare on a population.

Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, paramount chief of Tsenacommacah, an alliance of about thirty Algonquian-speaking groups and petty chiefdoms in Tidewater, Virginia.

Anybody see Navajo in there any where?

She’s a delegate among many and hardly speaks for everybody. The title by the corrupt and biased media is misleading.

Per Wiki:

In July 2015, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, descendants of the Powhatan chiefdom, of which Pocahontas was a member, became the first federally recognized tribe in the state of Virginia.

Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, the paramount chief[2] of a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tsenacommacah, encompassing the Tidewater region of Virginia. In a well-known historical anecdote, she is said to have saved the life of a captive of the Native Americans, the Englishman John Smith, in 1607 by placing her head upon his own when her father raised his war club to execute him. Some historians have suggested that this story, as told by Smith, is untrue.[5]

Pocahontas was captured and held for ransom by the English during Anglo-Indian hostilities in 1613. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. When the opportunity arose for her to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English. In April 1614, at the age of 17, she married tobacco planter John Rolfe, and in January 1615, bore their son, Thomas Rolfe.[1]

In 1616, the Rolfes traveled to London. Pocahontas was presented to English society as an example of the “civilized savage” in hopes of stimulating investment in the Jamestown settlement. She became something of a celebrity, was elegantly fêted, and attended a masque at Whitehall Palace. In 1617, the Rolfes set sail for Virginia, but Pocahontas died at Gravesend of unknown causes, aged around 20-21. She was buried in St George’s Church, Gravesend in England, but the exact location of her grave is unknown, as the church has been rebuilt.[1]

Numerous places, landmarks, and products in the United States have been named after Pocahontas. Her story has been romanticized over the years, and she is a subject of art, literature, and film. Many famous people have claimed to be among her descendants through her son Thomas, including members of the First Families of Virginia, First Lady Edith Wilson, American Western actor Glenn Strange, Las Vegas performer Wayne Newton, and astronomer Percival Lowell.[6]

Somebody’s gravy train was threatened if they don’t come out against Trump, I would guess.

Navajo Nation council delegate Amber Kanazbah Crotty called Trump’s remark “problematic” and said his words diminish the experience of Pocahontas and all Native Americans.

Don't presume to speak for me, Amber. And, how do words diminish the experience of being Indian?

Being Indian is not an experience. It is who one is, and if words diminish who you are, then you're rooted in nothing.

The three code talkers Trump with loved him. Anyone who watched the whole event knows that. Way too many people ignore context. The one guy praised Trump profusely. That was after the Pocahantas joke. It’s on the WH youtube channel;

15:15 in the video. It’s great. Of course the media blacked that out.

several Navajo Nation leaders and residents said on Tuesday that Trump has once again managed to make the name offensive.

Um, no ... Warren made it offensive by claiming she was a Native American. Trump is simply mocking her ridiculous claim.

President Trump invoking Pocahontas as a derogatory term

He did no such thing. He merely called Warren by the name of a famous female American Indian, mocking no one but Warren.

Pocahontas was a Powhatan. The Navajos are engaging in tribal appropriation.
