Is Elizabeth Warren Native American or What?
The Atlantic ^

Posted on 06/29/2016 6:18:48 PM PDT by bryan999

Elizabeth Warren is not a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

Elizabeth Warren is not enrolled in the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

And Elizabeth Warren is not one of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.

Nor could she become one, even if she wanted to.

Despite a nearly three week flap over her claim of "being Native American," the progressive consumer advocate has been unable to point to evidence of Native heritage except for a unsubstantiated thirdhand report that she might be 1/32 Cherokee. Even if it could be proven, it wouldn't qualify her to be a member of a tribe: Contrary to assertions in outlets from The New York Times to Mother Jones that having 1/32 Cherokee ancestry is "sufficient for tribal citizenship," "Indian enough" for "the Cherokee Nation," and "not a deal-breaker," Warren would not be eligible to become a member of any of the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes based on the evidence so far surfaced by independent genealogists about her ancestry.

An article from 2012 that goes deep on this issue when it was a big deal during Warren's Senate race against Scott Brown in MA. Good factual ammo to use on your liberal friends this Independence Day weekend should they start swooning over Lieawatha aka Chief Spreading Bull aka Fauxcahontus...

Also note the link to an article from the Harvard Crimson, embedded in the article:

"Of 71 current Law School professors and assistant professors, 11 are women, five are black, one is Native American and one is Hispanic, said Mike Chmura, spokesperson for the Law School.

Although the conventional wisdom among students and faculty is that the Law School faculty includes no minority women, Chmura said Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren is Native American."

I am 1/16 Pawnee (my great grandmother was a Pawnee squaw). I have never claimed tribal affiliation. I have never used “Native American” on any form I have filled out. Have I been an idiot?

So, see used affirmative action ploy to get her position and promotion. She should be run out of office for this. Alas, she is a Democrat and race is a just a state of mind.

No, she is not but doesn't want to admit it publicly. She "self-identified" as a Native American in the past. Now she is saying she believes her family. Bunch of BS.

Technically all of us who were born here are Native Americans but I don't "self-identify" as that in the context in which Warran is lying about.

There's no way to prove or disprove what she is saying now other than to compare it with the past which the left doesn't give a hoot aobut. Make that whoop.

Well, she appears to have been born in the US, which makes her more native American than Obama...or cruise.

Is Elizabeth Warren Native American or What?

If one is born in America, one is a Native American. Elizabeth Warren claims to be An American Indian. That claim is dubious. But equating "Native American" with "American Indian" steals the heritage of millions.

But that's what liberals do...steal.

My mistake. My grandmother’s grandmother was a Pawnee squaw. If it had been her mother, I would be 1/8 Pawnee.
