We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on Massachusetts.

I agree with you. What, really, is the point in traveling to see her?
I’m not trying to judge their motives, but to figure out their point.

One and the same.
Could it be that these women are attempting to maintain pressure on Ms. Warren to serve the conservative cause?
I live in Tennessee and there are quite a few people here with genuine Cherokee ancestors. All of those that I know are conservatives.
The only way we can actually know their motive is to personally interview the women who traveled to Massachusetts. At this point...I prefer to see the glass as half full. ;-)
Lizzie’s war on women!
They are outraged, offended, and hurt, the article says. They want to tell her, in person, how outraged, offended, and hurt they are. I’m not sure why ... she’s done them no practical harm, unless one of them is a lawyer who might have gotten the AA position at Harvard if Ms. Warren hadn’t. And telling her will not set them free from their outrage etc., because racial “activists” are always outraged: it is the purpose of their existence.
They also want her to admit she lied about being even a fraction Cherokee. Good luck with that: she’s a Democrat, a lawyer, and a politician! Waste of a trip to Massachusetts. They could go to the Bahamas instead.
At any rate, it’s more bad publicity for Ms. Warren. A conservative Senator in Massachusetts doesn’t exist, but at least there a Republican check-in-the-box if Scott Brown is reelected.

Like being American for instance.
Maybe it’s none of your damn business what these Cherokees are doing.
Many many moons since paleface Warren was born.
Almost all news is, ultimately, not really our business, and therefore all commentary on it is, if we’re honest, pointless.
However, the ladies in question are no more harmed by my opinions than they were by Ms. Warren’s fabrication.
I can’t determine if they’re coming from Talequah, OK or Cherokee, NC. Either way, they’ve been requesting a meeting to show their genealogical research to her that demonstrates no Cherokee ancestry nor even the possibility of it, and Warren has refused.
There’s some self-promotion involved, imho, with Twila Barnes. She’s “7/32” Cherokee, I doubt she lives on the reservation, eastern or western. A less charitable description would have her being a “Wannabee” herself. She doth protest too much.
Like Elizabeth Warren didn't already know that, if she were at all honest with herself. It would be like my saying I'm African-American, and my "evidence" is that my mother gets really tan in the summer and someone back in Missouri once said my crazy alcoholic great-uncle was "worthless as a {redacted}."
It's a very Obama situation ... she fabricated a whole identity for herself, from a need to feel "special" and for financial gain, and now it's defended both by her and by those who fell for it, like Harvard Law School. It's that, or admit they hired [voted for] an incompetent candidate, simply because of racial claims.
It’s true BillGunn,
A choice between a fraud lib and a RINO lib.
Great!
Like the presidential election, is this the best we can do???
I think that patriotism, being proud OF the United States, and being appreciative of all that Americans have done in our history, is different from being "proud of yourself" because of being American. An immigrant who has experienced hardship, worked diligently, and persevered through the process to become a citizen could certainly be proud of "being American" because his nationality is an accomplishment.
I think we often use the words "proud of being" something we were born (black, American, Mexican, Indian, tall, pretty) when what we mean is that we are not ashamed of characteristics, including nationality/ethnicity, that are independent of our personal character, behavior, and achievements.
When we say, as in the song, "I'm proud to be an American," I think it means, "I associate myself with all the good things America stands for, and I commit myself to participating in what the best Americans will do."
