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.

A Democrat?

The Song Of Princess No-Know-Much and Little Obama-watha

By the shores of River Charles
By the shining Oily Waters,
Stood the wigwam of No-Know-Much,
Moon Bat Daughter of the Marxists

Dark behind it rose the forest
Rose the forest of red brick wigwams
Rose the Starbucks and Panera Bread
By the square were Harvard stood

Bright before it beat the water
Beat the slimy dirty water
Beat the shining Oily-Water
On the shores of River Charles

There the wrinkled old No-Know-Much
Nursed the little Obama-watha
Rocked him in his golden cradle
Bedded soft in fresh arugula

Safely bound with puppet strings
Stilled his fretful wail by saying
“Hush! the Right Wing Bears will hear thee!”
Lulled him into slumber, singing

“Oh yes you won! My little monkey!
Who is this that lights my wigwam?
With his Big Ears comes to my wigwam?
Oh-yea, Oh-yea you little monkey!”

Somebody told her that her “high cheekbones” and pinkish white skin were all the evidence she needs to prove she was an Indian. Surely she can get some fly by night DNA ‘lab’ to confirm this.

There are no native Americans. We all of us are immigrants. Some of us just got here earlier than others.

Well the NYT and Mother Jones are correct on those points. The amount of cherokee blood doesn't matter. However to join a tribe one must PROVE you have a cherokee ancestor.

Now that LGBT etc.can identify as anything they want, Pocahantas will jump on the Indian self identification bandwagon.

I’m 1/1048 Algonquin (my 10-great grandmother was an Algonquin princess). Can I open a casino?

< Can you say CASINO MONEY from the white man? LOL!

Funny that this came up in here this week. I was taking a look at native American Induan who founded a bank that has deposits from Indian Casinos that have taken in over 4.2B just this year alone this week.

Warren listed as “woman of color” in Harvard student journal. Crook. Liar.
Not to mention she is soft on terrorism, came out against death penalty for the Boston bomber. Jury saw it differently. She will not be the VP choice in any event, it’s an obvious head-fake by HRC. I pray I am wrong—the woman is every bit as unlikeable as Lying Crooked Hillary.
