A writer? I guess that now means her own immediate family. Is this a CNN story?

It’s not “an accusation”. It’s open and shut. Her sisters are the source.

Outright fake. Zero association with Apache or tribe. All made up.

So that’s where Elizabeth Warren got the idea.

In fairness to the woman if her family had a legend of Native ancestry then she had little reason to dispute that before the advent of DNA and online geneology services.

My own family claimed German and British ancestry and when I did a DNA test I came back 100% Norwegian.

Her Pawpaw had high cheekbones, so what’s a body to do?

I am sorry but that is really a specious analogy.

Her fairness was noted at the time. Sadly the academy backtracked in more recent years

Fake is fake. Just ask Lieawatha

I don’t know how this will affect things, but I seem to recall Elizabeth Warren said they attended a tribal council together.

Her family had nothing to do with this-”Littlefeather” was an American Hispanic-no traceable Native ancestry-her sisters’ account of what she did is in the article-also one in the original post-she cooked the whole thing up when her modeling career went stale-she even accused her parents of abuse and raising her in a shack when they were actually a normal working class family living in a normal house-she played Fauxcahontas for advantages even before Liz Warren thought of it...

I would like to get in early on reparations from you. As someone with 100% Viking roots, I figure that your people enslaved my people at some time. Just make the check out to C. Doug. I will send you the rest of my demands later.

Parts of the far North of Britain contain a population largely of Norwegian genetic descent, such as the Shetland Islands.
