Shelly Lowe, executive director of Harvard University's Native American Program (HUNAP), told Breitbart News today that U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren had not, to her knowledge, participated in the program's events while Warren was a professor at Harvard.
Last week, Warren explained that she had listed herself as Native American "in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something that might happen with people who are like I am." However, she had not been involved in HUNAP, the most obvious avenue for meeting fellow Native American faculty and students.
Warren, who is the Democratic challenger to incumbent Republican Scott Brown, claims that she has a great-great-great-grandmother who was Cherokee. That claim has yet to be substantiated by evidence beyond family lore, and Warren herself has no formal tribal membership.
She had listed herself as Native American in the 1980s, but stopped doing so in the mid-1990s, claiming that she never encountered others with similar backgrounds: "Nothing like that ever happened, that was clearly not the use for it and so I stopped checking it off."
HUNAP is a visible presence at Harvard, a university whose 17th-century charter dedicates the school "to the education of the English and Indian youth of this country."

To anyone who says Brown should be ridden out on a rail who would you want in the Senate,Fauxcahontas or Brown? Those are the choices we have here. I’ll vote like a Dem if I have to, early and often for Scott Brown
The criteria for claiming and benefitting from “native American” status is quite specific (depending on context). I wish it were stressed more in this debate about how PHONY this woman is. Like that Ward Churchill moron who made a career out of faking his Indian roots. They need exposure and pilloried.
So she never went to the High CheekedBoned Social?
I’m tellin’ ya....some Indian tribe is going to step forward to claim her. They are all shopping the Democrat Party right now to try and get the best deal.
Hmmm. Paleface speak with forked tongue.
HOW ... is she goin to explain this one.
Maybe she’ll claim that her husband wears a mask and rides a horse named Silver.
Faux-cahontas
Just another picture of what total liars, creeps and self aggrandizing narcissists liberals are.
“HARVARD NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAM: WARREN NEVER PARTICIPATED IN EVENTS”
Of course she wouldn’t participate. She wouldn’t lower herself to mix with “those people.”
What a complete fraud she is!
George Zimmerman is white and Elizabeth Warren is black.
It is Obamaland. :)
In an America not so long ago, Elizabeth Warren would have been thrown off the ticket for making a joke of her state, Native Americans and her country. How pitiful and disgraceful this would be politician is.
Maybe she could enhance her Massachusetts political standing and get some young guy in her campaign to go with her and drive off a bridge somewhere.
Keeps getting better and better. I am surprised that the media is covering this. Four years ago there would have been a total background blackout on Warren.
I thought my family might be from the Lombardi tribe until I was around my cousins......we’re Vandals......I’m sure of it.
One cannot respond to shame if there is no soul.
Indian events she missed at harvard by not participating:
1) Paleface scalping/torture techniques 101 (being an indian not required)
2) Jay Silverheels greatest highlights
3) The art of cooking buffulo
4) Morse code using smokes signals
5) How to defeat longknives with a tomahawk
For Pete’s sake. I’m a Jew, descended from the original Middle Eastern Hebrews. It’s a safe bet that I have one or more black ancestors. So why can’t I use the One Drop Rule and apply for jobs as an African American?
6) Tomahawk sharpening for fun and profit.
I don't see why not. Go for it!
As for me, I'm 1/4 Sicilian. And since anyone who has ever watched True Romance knows, the Moors (blacks) changed Sicily's bloodlines for generations, darkening 'em up. So I'm part black, too, and I'm going to get me some of those good jobs as well.
