Far from being a member of the Métis nation, as she had long claimed, a laborious trace of Bourassa’s family tree revealed that her supposedly indigenous ancestors were in fact immigrant farmers who hailed from Russia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.Is her actual ancestry really as important as her imagined ancestry? Lets ask Elizabeth (Big Squaw) Warren.

Family history says we have Cherokee blood but I would never try to identify as Cherokee. Our granddaughter, daughter of our adopted daughter test 1/3 Native American.

Listen. Anything goes these days! Some days I 'identify' as a Labrador Retriever. Why should that concern my Employer in the least? *SNORT* These idiot LibTards have twisted themselves into pretzels with all of this 'identity' BS.

Everybody should be faking Native American or Hispanic heritage.

We are all quite surprised by this revelation. Perhaps she can still get some love for trying to appropriate like Rachel dolezol.

Apparently she thought that she could use her incredible ugliness to advantage by claiming to be a native. Problem is that even natives don’t want someone as ugly as her anywhere near them.

I was born in the US to American parents…. Doesn’t that make me a Native American?
