It seems that Elizabeth Warren has been stripped of her claim to being a tiny bit Cherokee by the Cherokees, themselves. Many people from the right are talking about Warren losing her tomahawk and this says it about as well as anything I have seen.

Would those items be found near the Nancy Pelosi display and tape recording that visitors can activate by pressing a button to hear her famous words, "we have to pass it to see what's in it" ????

That sounds like something that may be very close to the tomahawk and therefore pretty close to the war on Women.
I loved the canned laughter. It was the exact same after every punchline. I would have varied it a little, but I'm not an editor.
The rules of tribe membership are mysterious to me. I have a couple friends who claim to be part Indian because their parents or grandparents told them so. Their entire family believes so. However, I don't think they have ever seen proof of their bloodlines. It is family mythology in my mind, but I don't tell them so because they so ardently believe it. It's a point of pride to them that they have Indian blood...
....I don't understand that either, but it is probably equivalent to the pride I have with my Irish blood. The English blood I have, the German blood I have coursing through my veins... no big deal. The Irish blood is a big deal....
I think this is the case with Ms. Warren. She truly believes she is part Indian. If she is anything like my friends, even being told by the proper Indian authorities that she does not meet the requirements for membership won't convince her that she is not part Indian.
What needs to be inderstood is she is a native Oklahoman and Oklahoma was was used by 19th Century America as a disposal ground for Native Americans from the time Andrew Jackson ethnically cleansed the South of people like the Cherokee. The entire state was a place called Indian Territory until the 1890s when white America thought it might be useful and seized it back in the Great Pklahoma Land Rush. It is not surprisinf many Oklahomans have vaarying degrees of Indian blood once the social stigma was lost. The only question is how much Indian blood is enough to claim native American status or does the one drop standard apply.

Oh? Link please to where the Cherokee Nation has "stripped (her) of her claim."
