Elizabeth Warren Ancestor Rounded Up Cherokees For Trail of Tears
Breitbart ^ | 8 May 2012 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 05/09/2016 11:08:37 AM PDT by Mount Athos

For over a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Warren has described herself as a Native American.

After researching her story, it is obvious that her “family lore” is just fiction.

Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandfather, was apparently a member of the Tennessee Militia who rounded up Cherokees from their family homes in the Southeastern United States and herded them into government-built stockades in what was then called Ross’s Landing (now Chattanooga), Tennessee–the point of origin for the horrific Trail of Tears, which began in January, 1837.

These were the troops responsible for removing Cherokee families from homes they had lived in for generations in the three states that the Cherokee Nations had considered their homelands for centuries: Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

While these involuntary home removals were not characterized by widespread violence, the newly displaced Cherokee mothers, fathers, and children found an oppressive and sometimes brutal welcome when they finally arrived at the hastily constructed containment areas. An estimated 4,000 Cherokees were warehoused in Ross’s Landing stockades for months awaiting supplies and additional armed guards the Federal Government believed necessary to relocate them on foot to Oklahoma.

It is time for Ms. Warren to publicly acknowledge the truth of her ancestry. It is time for her to admit that she has no Native American heritage that she can prove; and it is time for her to acknowledge instead, that she is likely a direct descendant of a Tennessee Militiaman who apparently rounded up the ancestors of those who truly have Cherokee heritage, the first step in their forced removal from the Southeastern United States to Oklahoma over the long and tragic Trail of Tears.

When I went searching I was not aware of Cherokee privilege. It was my grandmother's words ‘full blood’ Cherokee that peaked my curiosity. I had learned of the Trail of Tears in school. And some census takers were not much more educated than the citizenry they were polling. Many times the women were only identified by their first and married name. But I learned that one must have the proper paperwork, registered on the rolls to call oneself a Cherokee.. I fully expect Lizzie Warren to have the required documentation.

Cut along the bottom and both sides of the box-o-butter the squaw is holding against her chest , making a hinge on top.

Now fold up the bottom of the image so the knees show when you lift the front of the box ... a peek-a-boo image of a very well endowed squaw is your reward.

I learned this decades ago when I worked as a grocery store stock clerk. Try it with the butter package sometime. Or not.

A rifle handed down by my mother’s side of the family is now on display as one of those used in the execution of Tsali, a Cherokee leader who led a revolt against the forced removal of the Cherokee from western North Carolina.

And, if family lore holds true, one of our great-great grandmothers was a Cherokee foundling who later united in marriage with our same family. If true, it would be an odd twist of fate.

My mom’s family is still in western Carolina, and many are undeniably now also part of and involved in Native American culture and life.

Someone needs to ask Warren what Ani-Yun-Wiya is....

Or just ask her for the name of the Cherokee tribe.

"Cherokee" is an Anglicized mispronunciation of an Algonquin word meaning something along the lines of "those people who speak a funny language".

Elizabeth Warren is persona lacking in honesty, sense of humor, and love for the USA.

Elizabeth Warren is persona lacking in honesty, sense of humor, and love for the USA.

But she is openly willing to submit bankers to public floggings, televised live from Yankee Stadium. And for that reason, she shall remain politically dangerous.

Zero's ancestors on his mother's side were slaveowning whites in the US...something that gets little attention. He has no ancestors who were slaves, but gets the right to lecture white Americans on the evils white people have done to black Americans.

Elizabeth Warren's ancestor was probably just following orders.

I have no American Indian ancestry as far as I know, but I did have relatives who were on the Trail of Tears--a distant cousin married a Cherokee woman and went with his family on the Trail of Tears. I find their descendants in the records as late as 1907. Some of them spoke only Cherokee despite being partly Scots-Irish in ancestry.

She might be related to Ward Churchill, is that good enough?

At least they got to eat the family's famous “Cold Omelets with Crab Meat” and “Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing” along the way.

Ah! So it was Muskogee, not Algonquin. Thanks.

“As a real Cherokee, the article stating that the involuntarily removal of Cherokee was not violence is fighting words.”

It’s not ethnic cleansing when fedgov does it. Even long dead fedgov.

Faux Cherokee Liz Warren must be exposed! http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2016/05/faux-cherokee-liz-warren-must-be-exposed.html

IF she has Cherokee heritage (like me, so little, if any ...a nosebleed and it’s all gone!) it is likely those Cherokee were RICH aristocrats who owned AFRICAN slaves, including their tyrant Chief John Ross, another corrupt politician who was only 1/8th Cherokee. Let her choke on that!!!

Correct me if I’m wrong. But didn’t Jackson and Crockett have a falling out of the relocation of the Indians?
