More than 200 Cherokees and other Native Americans sent a letter to Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) urging her to issue a public apology after “vague and inadequate” past steps to apologize for her claims of Cherokee ancestry.
“Your history of false claims to American Indian identity and the defense of these claims with a highly publicized DNA test continue to dog your political career,” the letter reads. “For Native Americans, this moment is more than an annoyance; it represents the most public debate about our identity in a generation.”
The letter cites reporting detailing how white people have scammed more than $800 million in no-bid federal contracts intended to support minority business owners by falsely claiming Native American and other minority heritages. The scammers routinely cite family legacy and the results of commerical DNA tests to substantiate their claims, as Warren did throughout her career. In light of those similarities, the letter asks for Warren to publicly denounce her family story of Native ancestry.
“When you still defend yourself by stating you believed what you heard growing up, you set a harmful example for these white people stealing Native identity and resources with stories very similar to your own,” the letter states.
Warren claimed to have Cherokee heritage for many years, which critics have charged allowed her to rise in academia before she entered politics. After withering criticism from President Trump, Warren released an infamous DNA test — which she quietly deleted evidence of a year later — showing that she was between 1/64th and 1/1024th Native American.
The Massachusetts Democrat took widespread criticism from Native Americans in the aftermath of her DNA test, and last February she apologized to the Cherokee Nation for publicizing her results.

RUHROH. Demand princess running beaver smoke peace pipe. If not, no endorsement from the fugawee tribe.
They will be ignored by the ignorant sl*t because shut up.
Sounds to me like the Native Americans aren’t being “inclusive”
The wooden Indian in Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota has more Native American blood than does Tin Lizzie.
I think Mini-Mike Bloomberg paid many wampums for these signatures....

Of course he did.
I really hate that guy.
My predictions:
1. Senator Warren will ignore that letter.
2. The mainstream media will ignore that letter.
3. Somebody will blame Trump for something.
It would be fair if she paid back all but 1/1024th of the salary she was paid under a false claim.
Like, reparations.
Warren should have to give up all the wealth she received pretending to be an Indian, back to the Indian people, hey commies are all about sharing the wealth so let’s see what happens
Tomahawk Chop
Harvard loaned her the money to buy her house.
Fruit of the poisonous tree—they should claw back the house!
Interesting to me that she has kept her first husband’s name, although they divorced 40 years ago and she remarried soon after. You’d think she would embrace her ancestral Indian name.
Pocahontas had it coming, paybacks are hell.
The report mentions Cherokee, but does not mention ‘the others’.
“Listen, I got into this because I am a fighter, I will be a conduit for ALL Native Americans and other races as well as other ethnic groups with high cheekbones to bring positive change onto Washington, DC.”
They're asking her to tell the truth. She won't. If they accept that response, they show themselves to be yet another false flag operation by the DNC.
I don’t think she dares as to do so may open her up to charges of fraud based on attestations she has made about her heritage on various job applications in the past ...though I don’t know what the statute of limitations are. Someone can always claim that they lost out on a legitimate chance for a job based on what she did.
