“Several of a dozen scientists and experts”
Hmm. That said, Psychogewea is having a hell of a time getting vindication. Heh heh heh. Most amusing.
“the latest incidence in a decades-old practice of white Americans co-opting the Native American identity”
Look, do you want to be loved or not?
Ancestry only means that a long time ago (in Warrens case, six to 10 generations, or likely well over 100 years) a native ancestor in the nether-reaches of the Warren family tree was an Indigenous to either South or North America in the 23 and Me so called DNA study.
Below is Warrens DNA reality re Cherokee and American DNA.
Zero DNA donors from South America were Cherokee.
DNA donors from Canada if any, were not Cherokees.
DNA donors from our America with Native American DNA could have come from over 100 tribes, not Cherokee.
A couple of other realities re the founder of 23 and Me:
What super large data spying corporation is the Founder of 23 and Me and her sister connected to?
Answer G$$$$E.
Would any sane person trust any critical information like Fauxahontass DNA if it came from G$$$$E?
What is the rating of 23 and Me re accuracy in identying Native American DNA?
Here are the best DNA tests*
Updated: October 2018
AncestryDNA: (see promo) best for cousin matching, most geographic regions for ethnicity
FamilyTree DNA: best for serious genealogy, YDNA and mtDNA tests
MyHeritage: best autosomal test on a budget
23andMe: best for genetic health screening, not genealogy
Living DNA: best for roots in British Isles

Warren is objectively whiter than Ivory soap which touts it's purity as 9944⁄100 percent pure. Warren is whiter than Ivory soap.
Here’s the thing. Warren had no idea if she was really part Indian when she declared she was. There was no scientific basis for her claim way back when.
She then took advantage of the family “rumor” to gain Financially, Personally, Professionally and Politically.
Funny how nobody talks about that. She was a fraud from the get go and she is not being held accountable for that.
Hey, Sen. Warren. take a look at a real Native American/European gentleman who made it to the Vice Presidency in 1929. His name is Charles Curtis. He actually lived on a reservation, spoke Kansa and had the nicknabe “Indian Charley” when he was eight.
Btw, he was a Republican.
I wonder what the DNA tests would show if you go to Eastern Europe, Africa, India and China and test the people there. Will these people have a % “American Indian” blood in them?
I thought she based her Native American heritage on a secret shack-up with Ward Churchhill.
Whatever happened to him, anyhow?
Some experts, including Tallbear, saw Warren’s DNA test as an affront to Native Americans’ spiritual heritage, which is based on long and deeply-held tribal beliefs that the tribes have for centuries occupied the land on which their reservations sit.
...more like coconut milk and WD40...
National Geographic reported that it is difficult to get native Americans to provide specimen ie saliva etc DNA sampling.
Hey, Folks, this makes me ask the big why? Could it be that Native Americans of citizenship do not want to know exactly if they are truly native American? Why not subject the tribe to DNA testing?
Its also true that Warren is claiming the ancestry not citizenship. What really matters is how Williams translate at the ballot box.
Warren has an ironic twist on racial identity. Segregationists and the Nazis maintained that even one drop of blood in your ancestry that was not white or aryan made you racially impure. Warrens dubious claims to Native American ancestry hinge on that same belief that some ridiculously small percent of your DNA makes you that race.
Well, the popular DNA tests done by Ancestry, are pretty accurate. I manage a dozen people from Guatemala and Mexico, one individual has 97% Native American genes. Elizabeth Warren just needs to face the fact that her parents were giving her a spinning a story, to make little kids impressed. A lot of the things that I was told as a kid turned out to be false. Like Santa Claus and the tooth fairy.
There is no such thing as “Native American blood”. That’s just a way of saying that someone is declared to belong to a specially-privileged government-certified victim group with the power to take others’ jobs and to feel morally superior.
The Native American’s blood is no better and no worse than mine.
Enough with the obsession with race!
Time for Walking Buffalo to resign the Senate. She is an embarrassment even for that corrupt organization.
Warren is all buffalo wings and no scalps.
So, she may have gotten those cheekbones from Ghengis Khan or one of his soldiers.
