Trump was the one making a YUUGE issue of it. No one else gives a damn.
Wrong!!! Trump is not the only one.
The Independent that is running against Warren in Massachusetts, is a real Indian, Born in India, raised here and is an MIT grad that invented E-mail, that is +11 up on Warren in polling.
Trumper's believe anything Trump says, when his lies are proven outright to be lies.... so why would anyone go back and forth with the Trump cultist? Some just like to come and bicker.... '"have at it"...
This isn't difficult. If she had even 25% or 20%, at that point the next step would be to find a name on the Dawes Rolls. Surely she and/or her mother knows the name of her great, great grandmother. So they would look for that name - and if it's on the rolls, and she's 25% or 20% - while the tribe may not still allow her, it would add a hell of a lot more weight than "I was told it was because I have high cheekbones". (Which is a really stupid argument to make because NDNs are not the only people who have high cheekbones - you can't determine someone's heritage based on fricken cheekbones.)
You are moving past the DNA tests to the family tree. If additional tests were required and this was inconclusive why the request. I never heard there were two steps required, if your question can be answered will there be a third step. She never asked for citizenship in a NA tribe.
Where in the DNA report did it differentiate which tribe her native american ancestor is from?
You seem confused. Tribal citizenship, and ancestry are separate issues. I have Irish heritage on my mother's side and stating that does not mean I am trying to claim citizenship of Ireland.
The DNA report showed she had native american ancestry, it did not state what tribe (and honestly the science just isn't there yet). So unless you have some sort of evidence to the contrary regarding her ancestry, you are the one moving the goal posts by trying to pretend that she claimed tribal citizenship.
Elizabeth Warren claimed publicly to be of Cherokee ancestry.
The Cherokees have extensive genealogical records and family trees that they have maintained quite carefully. I myself can trace my ancestry back through my Grandmother on my father's side, who was 3/4 Cherokee, with the papers and the currently living Cherokee relatives to prove it.
There are actually quite a few Cherokees still alive in this country, and that has always been the case. This is not some extinct band like the neanderthals that you have to do some sort of really sketchy DNA test with all kinds of extrapolations. The Cherokees were not the barbarians that some of you "enlightened" leftists would apparently like to hold them out to be. They have extensive family genealogies and records, and the Cherokee Nation has administrators of those records, and are responsible for determining if someone is actually genealogically affiliated with the Cherokee tribe.
Or, not. Which the Cherokee Nation leaders have announced decisively here is the case with Elizabeth Warren. She is not, even though she has publicly stated that she is.
I mean, is she asking to be part of the tribe? I didn't think so.
But don't you worry, I'm sure our Native American citizens absolutely LOVE IT when Trump calls her Pocahontas over and over and over. . .
Use your brain...
No she is not asking to be part of the tribe, but she did exploit the tribe in order to gain a personal advantage, and is now exploiting DNA tests to win political points.
Read what she said and did. Not what somebody else said she said. She never attempted to affiliate with a tribe.
My SIL father's was 1/4 Cherokee. His grandkids are not Cherokee enough for the tribe.
