The political world was confused Monday when Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren released the results of a controversial DNA test that was years in the making.

The Cherokee Nation issued a blistering statement calling Warren's decision ... "makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens."

Then we headed inside the sprawling four story building to see if there was any sign of Warren in the museum.
A detailed floor-by-floor, exhibit-by-exhibit search turned up no sign of Warren. However, then came one of our final stops, at the Pocahontas exhibit.
To our surprise, there Warren was - tucked in a corner on the glowing digital screen along with President Trump. Warren is found on a digital screen that explains how Trump labeled the senator with the nickname "Pocahontas" - and why that's not a bad thing.
The museum goes out of their way to explain in the caption that the name "Pocahontas" is not an insult - according to Trump - but rather insults Warren's "claims of Indian ancestry."
"President Donald Trump says that when he calls Senator Warren 'Pocahontas' he is not insulting her," the caption reads - going on to classify Warren's Native American ancestry as "claims."

Ugh.... that’s a nauseating thought!!!
This place should be given 24 hours to clean up its exhibit or immediately lose all federal funding.
Why is this exchange in a damned museum ? Do they have a display that explains season 2 of Hell on Wheels too ?

Yes, but should note that she is not recognized by any tribe and that even her DNA test, analyzed by a friend no less, says she is only 1/1,024th Indian. This is a great learning opportunity. They should do an expansive “stolen valor” exhibit using Pocahontas as their poster child.
I have no problem with it. It’s an exibit on Pocahontas and the President made statements using her name in reference to Warrens Indian heritage “claims”
It’s on topic and timely and is quite arguably appropriate.
LOL.

No, it can’t be the one marked, it has to be someone on the LEFT.
Good point!
Big Chief Trump live-um in squaws teepee rent-free.

yes now she is direct ancester of chief wtf, heir to the throne of white indian
Actually, it did NOT show she has ANY Indian DNA; only says she “MIGHT BE as much as 1/1024th,” based on extrapolations from South Americans.
I'd be more interested in a display that explains the final season of Lost...
