Senator Warren, apparently feeling the heat over the "I'm Native American!" claims

got tested.  No wonder she didn't want to meet with the Cherokee who had questions for her.
Warren provided the test results to The Boston Globe on Sunday, the newspaper said, “in an effort to defuse questions about her ancestry that have persisted for years.” The disclosure is another strong sign that she is seriously considering running for president, according to the publication.

“The vast majority” of Warren’s ancestry is European but “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor” six to 10 generations ago, according to Carlos D. Bustamante, a Stanford University professor who analyzed the results.

This means she could be just 1/1,024th Native American if the ancestor is 10 generations back, the Globe said.
'questions about her ancestry' which started because of her claim to be a Woman of Colour, etc.
Yahoo 'News' is spinning this in her favor so hard the whole staff is probably disoriented.  With nobody except the true believers buying it.

The Cherokee, in particular, are not happy with this crap:
"A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America. Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation. Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is prove. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."

And she apparently pirated her 'Cherokee' recipes, too.

She is the very model of a socialist politician, isn't she?

Some of the recipes in Pow Wow Chow were pretty good. Fake, but delicious.
