Fauxcahontas’ 1/32 Cherokee claim debunked
Human Events ^ | May 14, 2012 | John Hayward

Posted on 05/15/2012 5:28:37 AM PDT by Zakeet

It’s official: Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren isn’t even 3 percent Cherokee. Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart.com counts coup:

The slender thread upon which Elizabeth Warren’s claim that she is 1/32 Cherokee rests—a purported 1894 marriage license application—has been exposed as non-existent. Based on a review of the original marriage records found in the files of the Logan County, Oklahoma Court Clerk’s office in Guthrie, Oklahoma, and the statements of ReJeania Zmek, the Court Clerk of Logan County, Oklahoma, it is likely that the ephemeral 1894 marriage license application never existed.

“In modern times we keep marriage license applications,” she said. “The way they’re issued now, you do the application, then you do the license. We currently do keep records of marriage license applications,” she said, explaining that this practice didn’t begin until around 1950.

Leahy offers a scan of the documentation – or, rather, non-documentation – at the link above, showing us a marriage license with blank columns for the race of both bride and groom. It looks like the “Cherokee marriage application” myth was launched entirely on the basis of an unsubstantiated claim in a family newsletter from 2006.

The only other evidence the Warren campaign’s mad scramble for documentation has produced is a cookbook edited in 1984 by Warren’s first cousin, and entitled Pow Wow Chow: A Collection of Recipes From Families of the Five Civilized Tribes: Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, & Seminole. There doesn’t appear to be any documentary evidence of actual Indian heritage on the part of Warren’s cousin, either. And here I was, wondering if this story could get any sillier.

So even her BS was a lie.

This is Harvard University.

Just another grifter cashing in on the affirmative action gravy train that BO rode into office.

These stories are campaign gold. A typical voter may not want to focus on what the long term economic implications of her overregulating agenda are but this is something they can not only wrap their mind around but have a good laugh about as well. And it’s a tarbaby that she’ll not be able to get rid of - what can she even say at this point?

"ow Wow Chow: A Collection of Recipes From Families of the Five Civilized Tribes: Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, & Seminole. "

Seminole and Creek are "civilized tribes" ?

I guess that 'author' hasn't ever been to a pow-wow and heard the running rumors about "Creek boys"....lol!
(its "hide your women - the Creek boys are here!")

And, as I remember, the Seminoles never surrendered.

Someone should check the rest of her biographical details. On the surface it looks good, but there are some oddities.

She can always claim she boinked Robert Byrd, who is a descendant of Pocahontas. Since Byrd isn’t around to deny it, she can claim her affair shared their blood (and other bodily fluids) and thereby made her a descendant of Pocahontas as well.

You know, you’re both right. This will at best be scrubbed from the news cycle. My first reaction was based upon a just, rational world. Rats do have their own set of rules. Many moons ago there was a notion of equality for everyone, but rats are viewed as being more equal by too many complicit institutions. Media, big education (Haaaavad), too many courts, and others. For them the ends justify any means.
