Elizabeth Warren DNA test does NOT prove she’s Native American, contrary to the hype
Legal Insurrection ^ | October 15, 2018 | William A. Jacobson

Elizabeth Warren is not Native American. Her ancestry has been traced by Cherokee genealogists back to the early 1800s, as far back as there are records, and there are no Native American ancestors.

The one potential Native American ancestor was Warren’s great great great grandmother, Sarah O.C. Smith, but an initial 2012 report about that was debunked and The Boston Globe was forced to issue a retraction.

Faux DNA test results for Fauxcahontas. Under Spanish Colonial racial laws Fauxcahontas' ancestors would have been declared pure white many generations ago.

Same thing can be said regarding Sally Hemings.

“Scientists say the average European-American is 0.18% Native American.”

Trump should have a DNA test done. Win, lose, or draw, he should wave it around and say he has more “American Indian” DNA than she does.

Go to any reservation and see how many blue eyed Indians there are.

The only Indian in Warren was an affair at a casino years ago.

I certainly hope that someone asks her to support that guy who showed two per cent African DNA. He petitioned for a minority set-aside. Sauce for the goose....

""To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American""

And you wonder why Warren is described as Fake-A-Hontas.

From the article:

Where does this DNA test result leave us:

1. Warren still cannot point to any specific ancestor who was Native American.
2. Warren never lived as a Native American or associated with Native Americans.
3. Warren never claimed to be Native American until her late 30s.
4. Warren only used alleged Native American status for employment purposes, and stopped claiming that status when she got tenure at Harvard Law School.
5. There remains zero evidence Warren was a descendent of the Cherokee or Delaware tribes.
6. The DNA test does not prove Warren is Native American, at most there is “strong evidence” of a single ancestor dating back 6-10 generations, based on analysis that compares Warren’s DNA to numerous groups, including non-Native American groups.
7. The media headlines overstate the findings.
8. Warren almost certainly is running for president, and rolled out these findings in a highly controlled and slick production for that purpose.

What is the measurement error for this kind of thing?

That would have to be a blind Indian to hop up and mount that ugly rug.

Genealogy and DNA - 2 different things.
Plus, DNA can't get to the tribe level.
What if she's not Cherokee ? Then the Cherokee genealogy is useless.

also note, that there in no U.S. native american DNA database. I have posted this elsewhere.

from the Bustamante Warren report:

For Native American references, we used samples within the 1000 Genomes project of Native American ancestry; these samples come from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia. (It is not possible to use Native American reference sequences from inside the United States, since Native American groups within the US have not chosen to participate in recent population genetics studies.)

so she's Peruvian ? or Mexican ? or Colombian ?

Now let’s do Bill Clinton’s DNA and compare to his son, Danny Williams.

Good points.

How do we know that it was her DNA that was tested?

I trust her on this issue as far as I can throw her.

And her gynecologist, Dr. Patel, once a year.

I’ve got way more Indian blood than Pocahontas.

I find programs and policies which give some races advantages to be RACIST.

Racism will never stop until official racism ceases.

“Biden/Warren 2020”

Too good to hope for my friend.... However, the entertainment value would be immeasurable. Not enough popcorn in the world.
