Last night, in an interview with the Boston Globe, Elizabeth Warren claimed that her parents were forced to elope because her father’s family objected to her mother’s Native American heritage:

"In the 1930s, when my parents got married, these were hard issues,’’ Warren said. “My father’s family so objected to my mother’s Native American heritage that my mother told me they had to elope. [emphasis added]

Breitbart News has obtained a copy of what it believes to be Warrens' parents’ marriage certificate from Hughes County, Oklahoma, dated January 4, 1932. The marriage took place in Holdenville, Oklahoma, the county seat, located approximately 14 miles from Wetumpka, Oklahoma, which both the 21-year-old groom, Donald J. Herring, and 19-year-old bride, Pauline Reed, declared as their residence.

Well...I remember a couple of Seminoles(this is in Oregon) and I’m part Cherokee. To your first point, some of the kids didn’t know the name of their tribe. “They’re in Florida.” was as close as they got. I think it was all about steering us to a new guidance counselor with experience and zeal for promoting “native Americans” on a fast track to college admission...affirmative action. Wouldn’t be surprised if the whole thing was NEA initiated.

It would be easy enough to check the local newspaper.

I'm sure the announcements were made in smoke signals. Arrogant paleface. :)

I am a genealogist, and I can tell you that most small towns in Oklahoma posted their wedding notices in the newspaper during that time. Any Freepers in that area have access to any libraries that have microfilm of a nearby newspaper?
