We all know about “undocumented workers.” Now we have Elizabeth Warren, the undocumented Indian.
Funny thing, I think Ted Williams was one-fourth Mexican. He was white. Johnny Bench is one-eighth Indian. I always think of him as white. And then there’s Pochantas Warren, the blue-eyed, one-32nd Cherokee (or so we’re told) who went from the Southwest Conference to the Ivy League over the course of a decade in which she was claiming to be a “minority professor.”
But once she’d parlayed the racial-spoils racket all the way to a tenured position at Harvard Law, she decided to ... pass, as they used to say in the old South. Once she’d reached the pinnacle of her trade, she ditched the fake-Indian routine. Maybe White Eyes Warren saw the smoke signals and figured out that someone was going to call her out on her ancestry. She was right.

1/32nd Cherokee is precisely what my wife is....
is Harvard hiring?
Vandy would be closer admittedly
Who was that leftist professor a couple of years ago who claimed to be Indian, but wasn’t? He was a real jerk, but the communist media tried to protect him.
My mother always told us kids that our great-great grandmother was full-blooded Ojibwa, but since I’ve never been able to prove it, I don’t even mention it. I’ve got two photos of her, and she does look like she could be indian, but since her marriage certificate shows her parents as members of the Church of England, I just figured the story was a bunch of hooey.
Any way, this story caused me to check up on Shania Twain :-) who was adopted by Jerry Twain, "a full-blooded member of the Ojibwa First Nation". She is recorded as a 50% Ojibwa due to adoption. I thought that is cool. :-)
Shania trumps Elizabeth Warren!
"LOZEM GEYN!"
You omitted the Fakowi tribe from your list. So, I ask you: Where the Fakowi?
Ha! VERY good!
"What would you call a free pass to Columbia and then Harvard Law? For a guy who thinks there are 57 states and that they speak “Austrian” in Austria? Who pronounces corpsman “corpseman”? Who became editor of the Harvard Law Review without ever having written a single article for the publication?"
As for the Cherokee, they were a really large tribe and not only spread out across the Smokey Mountain region but they were forced to march west in probably the most disgraceful and miserable action our nation has ever done. (trail of tears)
That abominable action spread them out more and resulted in a broadcast mixing of their tribe with others (black, white, other indians, etc)
The forced relocation of American Indians began with the Indian Removal Act of 1830. In 1838 the Cherokee Indians became the fifth major tribe to experience forced relocation to Indian Territory, present-day Oklahoma. Along the trail nearly 4,000 Cherokee died of starvation, exposure, or disease. The forced removal of the Indians remains a black mark on American history, and reminds those who desire freedom, that all people deserve a life of liberty regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity.Trail of Tears
LOL! You Tube has some great renditions of Irving Berlin’s “I’m and Indian, too”, from Annie Get Your Gun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SV93VCrDsY
Make it viral!
People like you are extraordinarily rare. Bravo on a job well done!!
For better or for worse, you are the captain of your destiny, owing credit to none.
We must be related! Our family has the exact same story - great-great-grandmother through our French Canadian grandfather was North Lake Superior Ojibwa.
Michael Graham had a lot of fun with it on 96.9. Even my teenagers got a kick out of the show.
Yeah, Avi and the Colonel don’t cut it.

Don’t knock Joe! He personally delivers each tank of oil. I’ve seen the TV commercial. And, he does it for a salary of just $700k/year from his non-profit organization.
The guy is all heart.
Not true. According to the Obama administration, if Rusty even so much as crossed a street with the help of a government-owned traffic light when he was in elementary school, he owes everything he ever accomplishes to government.
