Yes, Elizabeth Warren Is Featured In Pocahontas Exhibit At National Museum Of The American Indian

Unfortunately I went to that museum one time in DC. I would not even describe it as a museum. Supposedly it is called a “cultural museum”. One learns nothing about the Native Americans.

Yes, correct, I forgot to include that caveat. MAY HAVE 1/1024th. Thus, may not have. And not even American Indian, but Central and South American Indian, as if Indians are Indians. And a drop of DNA makes her one? Makes a joke of identity politics. Someone on FR wrote that she wins the 2018 Rachel Dolezal Award.

I wish people, including the President, would stop using the “Pocahontas” meme when referring to Sen. Warren. Pocahontas was a real person, a member of what is now known as the Pamunkey tribe, the daughter of Powhatan,the paramount chief of that tribe. She converted to Christianity, married the English colonist John Rolf, moved to England, and alas, died there. She has living descendants today. They can truly claim to be part American Indian. Elizabeth Warren is a phony, who appears to know nothing about the American Indian heritage she mendaciously claims.

To be fair, Sen. Warren claims that it is a family oral tradition that says she is part tribal. Back when I was a junior in College, I did an informal survey of friends and fellow classmates on their ancestry. 20% said that they were told that they had some American Indian ancestors, Choctaw, Navajo, Mohawk, and others. So her account is not entirely unbelievable. Her using that claim to advance her career in school and academia, and politics, on the other hand....

“...white indian…”

I have read that the Cherokee word for a white claiming to be indian is “Unaki.” There is a murder mystery by Sharon McCrumb about a group of people in Eastern Tennessee trying to gain recognition from the Bureau of Indian Affairs as the Unaki Tribe.

NRA spokesbabe, Dana Loesch, really does have Cherokee blood; however, she doesn’t call herself an Indian or Native American. p.s. Anyone born in this country is a native American and no particular ethnic group has the right to arrogate themselves to such a title.
