LOL

What's funny about enforcing health and educational provisions promised tribes by the federal government by treaties in exchange for lands now occupied by non-Indian people?

Yes, Americans with no Native American blood in them, should quit claiming to until proven to be liars, and then at that point quit trying to speak for them as well.

Warren is a fraud, pure and simple. And now she’s trying to capitalize on a topic she should be embarrassed to even mention any longer.

She will empower them by stealing their heritage and identity.

Yeah, more welfare for Native Americans, its worked so well up until now

American Indians who didn't rely on the government did very well for themselves.

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on Friday unveiled her latest policy plan,which aims to empower Native American tribes through land protection and law enforcement reforms and boost financial support for chronically underfunded health and education programs.

You want to empower native americans?

Let them OWN their land.

As of now and through the history of the reservation system the land belongs to the Tribe and can not be bought or sold.

So, in reality, the reservation land belongs to the Federal Government. Any improvements to the land have to go through the tribal government. So, improvements to the reservation property rarely happen unless the government does it.

If you want to improve the lot of the native Americans living on tribal land let them own the land. Even if deed restrictions made it only possible for the land to be transferred to a tribal member it would open up the possibility of businesses and property improvements on the reservation.

As my first act as president I will be signing into law a Native American Education Act that grants all non-Native Americans the right to claim Native American heritage and bypass real Native Americans for college admissions.

... or the Indians her family killed and enslaved?
********
Whatever her ancestors may have done 150 years ago, that would not throw any guilt on her — or upon modern day taxpayers.

I wish we could find the real NA person who was cheated out of her job by Warren frauding. Back in ‘92 I wished the GOP would find the last guy drafted in Arkansas the year Clinton ducked out. That guy got drafted because Clinton dodged the draft.

You can’t make up that kind of comedy! That’s too rich! Oh, the irony!

With this she admits she selfishly and fraudulently masqueraded as a Native American for years to enrich and empower only herself.

Native American men really need a white woman to empower them. She’d do better to share her pow wow chow recipes with the Native women.

I do agree what the American government did to the Indians is sickening up to this day but this piece of sh*t fraudster needs to go sit on a totem pole.
