Sen. Elizabeth Warren has apologized to the Cherokee Nation for her decision to take a DNA test to prove her Native American ancestry, according to reports.
“Senator Warren has reached out to us and has apologized to the tribe,” tribal spokeswoman Julie Hubbard said in a statement Friday.
“We are encouraged by this dialogue and understanding that being a Cherokee Nation tribal citizen is rooted in centuries of culture and laws not through DNA tests. We are encouraged by her action and hope that the slurs and mockery of tribal citizens and Indian history and heritage will now come to an end.”
Critics have accused the Massachusetts Democrat, who is running for her party’s presidential nomination, of advancing her career as a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard by claiming Cherokee heritage.
President Trump has repeatedly mocked his potential 2020 challenger by calling her “Pocahontas” — even offering $1 million to a charity of her choice if she took a DNA test that proved her claim.
Warren ignited a storm of controversy in October when she released the results of a DNA test that she said proved a distant relative was at least partially Native American.
Experts determined that the ancestor was “in the range of six to 10 generations ago,” according to the DNA report.

I get it. She is sorry that the DNA test proved she was lying.
So any honorable person would apologize for lying. Nope, she apologizes for taking the DNA test.
They are science deniers angry that DNA tests could be asked of others claiming indian ancestry
Within Masshole-a-chusetts, Lizzie Warren is as undefeatable as Teddy the Swimmer. She will cause trouble in the Senate for decades to come and die in office like he did.
But as Prez? Might as well go pretend to chug another beer.
Lizzie Borden Warren.
Experts determined that the ancestor was “in the range of six to 10 generations ago,” according to the DNA report.

Their “experts” are wrong. Present day Europeans born in Europe with no non-European ancestors can have some “Native American” gene alleles without a single Native American ancestor. The reason is that ancient ancestors of BOTH Native Americans and many present day Europeans came from Siberia and contributed gene alleles to both groups of their descendants. Warren has zero Cherokee ancestry.
I suspect this is the reason the Japanese pen Haiku.
She should return her earnings to the Cherokee Nation to prove she is sorry for lying and taking their money.
Now will all the people who attacked the Cherokee Nation for saying Warren was not Cherokee apologize as well?
Tomahawk Chop
She became a Harvard professor and a Marxist Senator off the back of her lies.
Surely if she had an ounce of decency she would resign her Senate seat ?
.
I need to apologize too. I never have had a dna test I just suffer along being an old white guy.
did she apologize for getting a cush position at Harvard by claiming to be a fake Injun?
> I suspect this is the reason the Japanese pen Haiku <
I’m as much Japanese as Warren is Native American. So I think I’ll give it a try.
Liz was Cherokee
Until the test said no way
Now she should resign
As a businessman who always seeks a good return on investment, Trump must be loving this.
Trump made few small twitter outlays in the fauxcahontas theme, and Warren keeps destroying herself, over and over again, month after month, year after year.
Its really a thing of beauty.
It is known as fact though that a closer relative was actually a guard at one of the staging areas holding Tsalagis (Cherokees) where they began the “Removal” (Trail of Tears)...
Centuries of Indian culture? No, there is only the last generation’s opinions since there is no written laguage.
All that you learned about Indians is through Western Science.
