Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) says “no one, not even the president of the United States will ever” be able to take away her purported American Indian heritage. After releasing a 2018 midterm election October surprise on Monday, wherein the liberal lawmaker released the findings of a DNA test showing she is likely less than one percent American Indian, Warren released a short, five-minute documentary video in which she says Trump cannot “take” her ancestry from her.
“Some people have questioned my heritage and my family history,” Warren says. “Maybe they do it to insult me … Maybe they do it because they think politics is a blood sport. But my parents were real people, the love they shared, the struggles they endured, the family they built, the story they lived, will always be etched on my heart.”
As Breitbart News noted, Warren is actually less Native American than many white, Hispanic, and black Americans. Experts with 23andMe say the average black American is nearly one percent Native American, while the average Hispanic American is 18 percent Native American. Additionally, about eight percent of white Americans in Louisiana, for example, are at least one percent Native American.
Warren’s American Indian ancestry is so small that she would is not eligible to join the country’s three federally-recognized Cherokee tribes, Breitbart News reported.

I hope Ms. Barrett never watched that indian cartoon - she’ll be disqualified from the Supreme Court!
But if they did take away her American Indian heritage...they could do it with a thimble with room to spare.
Dial up the sensitivity on the test and Princess Grey Beaver turns out to be 1/1024th mosquito. And (sobbing) no one can take that heritage away from her!
This is pure genius by Trump. He trolled them into admitting that identity politics is a stupid, meaningless game based on white guilt.

Kind of like McLean helping Fraud with her polygraph
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
A wise sage once gave these instructions
If a man has a stick, give the stick to him.If a man does not have a stick, take it away from him.
This is the explanation on it. But she is NOT Native American::
In Summary
Neither Family Tree DNA nor 23andMe find Native ancestry in our German/Hungarian tester, but all 3 of the admixture tools at Gedmatch find either small amounts of Native or Asian ancestry that could certainly be interpreted as Native, such as Siberian or Beringian.
Does this mean this German/Hungarian man has Native American ancestry? Of course not, but it does probably mean that the Native population and his ancestral populations did share some genes from the same gene pool thousands of years ago.
While you might think this is improbable, or impossible, consider for a minute that every person outside of Africa today carries some percentage of Neanderthal DNA, and all Europeans also carry Denisovan DNA. Our DNA does indeed have staying power over the millennia, especially once an entire population or group of people is involved. We’ve recently seen this same type of scenarios in the full genome sequencing of a 24,000 year old Siberian male skeleton.
Our German/Hungarian man carries 2.4% Neanderthal DNA according to 23andMe and 2.7% according to the Genographic Project, which also reports that he carries 3.9% Denisovan. The European average is about 2% for Neanderthal.
The net-net of this is that minority admixture is not always what it seems to be, especially when utilizing autosomal DNA to detect small amounts of Native American admixture. The big picture needs to be taken into consideration. Caution is advised.
When searching for Native admixture, when possible, both Y DNA and mitochondrial DNA give specific answers for specific pedigree lines relative to ancestry. Of course, to utilize Y or mtDNA, the tester must descend from the Native ancestor either directly paternally to test the male Y chromosome, or directly matrilineally to test the mitochondrial line. You can read about this type of testing, and how it works, in my article, Proving Native American Ancestry Using DNA. You can also read about other ways to prove Native ancestry using autosomal DNA, including how to unravel which pedigree line the Native ancestry descends from, utilizing admixture tools, in the article, “The Autosomal Me.”

Exactly. If she’s a “victim” we’re ALL victims....
I am a native american also, my ancestors were an Ohio Riverboat pilot family, debtors prison refugees to the western wilderness after incurring debt to fund an army regiment in the revolutionary war
That should qualify

If she believes she is Indian, why not let her believe it?
She either did too much Peyote or watched too much of the old T.V. Show F Troop.
“Warren: ‘No One, Not Even Trump’ Can Take Away My American Indian Heritage”
No matter how miniscule it is!
This song comes to mind: Nothing From Nothing, by Billy Preston.

In other words, you can’t take an Indian heritage away from a woman with zero Indian bloodlines.
Liawatha the lunatic!
