Are you sure about that? She ran on it against Scott Brown. I provided that link earlier to the video. She doesn't come right out and say it, (something the left does a lot - never answers directly), but heavily implies (which is what the left does do a lot because they know that people make assumptions on implications).

We have seen this for a very long time - the left knows exactly what it's doing when implying a statement without ever saying the exact words - that way they can fool some of the people, and if called on it later, claim that they never said that. This is not a new strategy. It's manipulation. It's beginner's manipulation tactics, but apparently that's all the left needs to fool their own.

As for her lying, yes, she blatantly lied. Some story about being Cherokee does not give her the right to label herself as a minority. You have to have proof, especially if you're claiming NDN status, that you're a minority. The only thing she's ever claimed is Cherokee, therefore, when labeling herself a minority, with only a story to go on, she lied. Flat. Out. Lied.

Don't I take my family's word for it? No. I don't. I was told we have Choctaw. I did not take their word for it, I started researching ancestry to find out if we did or not. Further, I also did not claim to be Choctaw, never claimed to be a minority, never claimed to be a person of color, never asked for any special privileges, do not go around telling everyone that I'm Choctaw because someone in my family said so - because even if I had 50% Native blood, I haven't lived their life. I have not lived their culture. I have not lived their heritage. I never suffered. The majority of my family never suffered. It would be one person who did, not the rest of us, and there's no way in hell I would have the audacity to try to take advantage of that by calling myself a minority on lawyer register - which the only reason to do that is for personal gain.

This is like if C. Thomas Howell from the movie Soul Man decided to run for president as a black man.

And she never claimed to be Cherokee, except when she did when she submitted recipes in a cookbook in 1984.

Credit goes to another thread that reminded me about this.

You know, no one has shown any proof that she used her "status" to get into anywhere. But I can be convinced to think otherwise if they did provide such documentation.

BTW, her DNA tests confirm your video clip.

Again, DNA tests only show what is "likely", it does not actually show that she IS any part Native American.

What would be the point of labeling yourself a minority in a lawyer register if you're not a minority?

Please read the following: https://wakelet.com/wakes/c208218d-b...4-2f6864532a13

These are 47 tweets from 2016 made by a Native American about Warren and DNA testing.

Some highlights:
Quote:
8) We also cannot tell conclusively from a DNA test if @SenWarren is of Native American descent broadly.

9) By not conclusive, i mean that test results vary from company to company and even between academic labs, based on the methods used.

10) True, there are genetic markers found in higher frequencies among people descended from the First Peoples of the Americas.

11) But not all “Native Americans” have the particular markers scientists have found that trace to the founding populations.

15) Because we are all related, the same “Native American markers” are found in different frequencies in people from Alaska to S. America.

31) Cherokee citizenship and other tribal citizenship/identities aren’t defined according to genetic ancestry markers.

39) If we were to test all Americans we’d find folks who are White, Black, Latinx, Asian, etc. with Native American DNA markers.

45) Think! Before you suggest someone take a DNA test to prove they’re a Native American or Cherokee, or not.
That's DR. Kim Tallbear
