Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Results Disqualify Her from Cherokee Tribes

The DNA findings, regardless of their legitimacy, do not make her eligible for Cherokee Nation citizenship. Nor does the DNA test make Warren eligible to join the Eastern Band of the Cherokee or the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.

In 2012, The Atlantic provided a full breakdown of what it would take for Warren to be eligible to join any of the three federally-recognized Cherokee tribes.

For Warren to apply for Cherokee Nation citizenship, she would have to provide documentation proving she has a direct ancestor listed on the Dawes Rolls of the tribe. To this day, Warren has not provided any documentation that would make her eligible for Cherokee Nation citizenship.

In order for Warren to be recognized as Cherokee by the Eastern Band of the Cherokee, she would have to be at least 1/16 Cherokee — which she is not — and would have to provide documentation showing she is a direct descendant of someone listed on the tribe’s rolls.

To join the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee, Warren would have to be 1/4 Keetoowah Cherokee — which she is not — and have a direct ancestor on the Dawes Rolls.

As Breitbart News noted, Warren is actually less Native American than many white, Hispanic and black Americans. Experts with 23andMe say the average black American is nearly one percent Native American, while the average Hispanic American is 18 percent Native American. Additionally, about eight percent of white Americans in Louisiana, for example, are at least one percent Native American.

The Village People had more NA in them than Fauxahontas.

The REAL story is that she chose a leftist college professor to find DNA, Since 23 & ME and Ancestry tests wouldn't have registered any Native American DNA!

Where are Trump tax records?

If you think this is not enough, you certainly cannot agree that "Bustamante's analysis places Warren's Native American ancestor between six and 10 generations ago, with the report estimating eight generations." is sufficient. After all, she claimed "high cheek bones," her mother being discriminated against, and preferential admittance to Harvard based on being NatAm.

People realize that almost everybody who takes these tests comes back at like 1-3% African American/Native American/New Guinean/Aborigine/Smurf/Nubian/Lilliputian Blood, yes?

Even Assyrians or Asians whose parents moved to the US often get 1-3% "Odd" results like those.

First of all, her mom probably fucked an Italian Guy and her dad's a cuck, since she had "no idea" she was Italian but it came back 48% Italian.
Second, one test said she was 8% Ashkenazi, the other test said she was 0.3% Ashkenazi.

She was also, guess what? 1% Native American/Northeast Asian

I think nothing could convince right wingers at this point.
Any proof will be rationalized out.
Just like they didn't believe Obama's birth certificate.

She never asked for Cherokee citizenship or to join the Eastern Band of the Cherokee or the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee, did she?

Hummm, I never took a test but 100% sure I don't have a drop of natAm blood in me. It would find more neanderthal than natAm.
30   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Oct 15, 12:57pm  

And some Latinos. Pretty much every single one has 1-3% Black and Ashkenazi ancestry, about the same as Warren is Native American.

You'd be surprised. It's very hard to differentiate some North American Native Americans from Siberians.

I would think millions of Americans whose ancestors arrived before the Civil War probably show ~3% Native American ancestry.

If we counted people who were 3% Ashkenazi or Native America as biracial or accept their claims of Judaism or American Indian, they'd probably make up 15% of the population easily.

But she did select the Native American box and she was advertised as the first Native American faculty member, yes?

That no ancestor of her appears on any tribal role or census form going back well into the 19th Century?

He's been audited by the IRS and found to be clean.

Why do YOU care? You think the IRS would lie? Have you ever heard of the IRS "not" taking their share?
36   FortWayneAsNancyPelosiHaircut   2018 Oct 15, 1:07pm  

Legally you need to be at least:
6.25 Percent / One-Sixteenth Blood Quantum (One Great-Great-Grandparent)

https://www.powwows.com/much-percentage-native-american-enrol-tribe/

She is 10 generations behind, which equals to nothing.

Also

The Bureau of Indian Affairs issues the certificate after the individual has forwarded a finalized genealogy. The genealogy must be submitted with legal documents that include birth certificates, documents showing the applicant’s descents both from the maternal and the paternal sides.

Tribes do this to prevent bullshit like Elizabeth Warren from stealing benefits.
37   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Oct 15, 1:08pm  

I'm sure when Trump was complaining about Obama's birth certificate, that the Obama IRS was totally not giving special attention to Trump businesses and personal tax returns all those years.

Tax evasion schemes involving offshore bank accounts or shell companies are not necessarily illegal.
Just not the same as paying your fair share.

So you purposefully avoid deductions when you pay taxes? You rather give more of your money to the government than keep it in your pocket?

Tell me more about statism and it's benefits.
41   Shaman   2018 Oct 15, 1:14pm  

I can’t prove it, but I’m pretty sure it was my 1/32nd Delaware Indian heritage that made me get the hots for my wife who looks like a hot Pocahontas. If she claimed she was full Indian nobody would bat an eye.

No, I take my deductions. I just don't jump complicated hoops with offshore companies to make sure I pay a fraction of the effective tax rates middle-class families pay.

Try finding actual evidence first. This is seriously weak man. 8 generations ago we have a solid maybe?

That makes her claims about racism a flat lie.

The irony is her critics accuse her of taking advantage of fake hardship claims. Now, here she is, further taking advantage of something any European would have in their 23andme report, while claiming 8 generations ago (less than the white american average) somehow proves her claim. Then the ad ends w her lily white family standing proud of their 99.99% white heritage.

Suck it 100% white supremacists, you arent racially speckled like E Warren.

1/256th Indian. Gee, at least she didn't have to go all the way back to the primordial ape to find ancestry.

People, it is more complicated that what it looks on surface. I did analysis and it came back as <1% Native American/1% North Asian. I understand N Asian - likely came via Saami from Scandinavia. But all my ancestors are from N. Europe, no one has set foot in Americas before myself, and everyone in last 7-8 generations is documented with respect to birth place etc. Explanation I was able to dig out is that N. Asian/Native American DNA is difficult to distinguish if they are present in trace amounts, so people who have some Asian ancestry are likely to have false positives on Native American DNA.

Seems that Warren case is a wash, we can't really tell, which is most convenient for both sides of debate.

Edit: I think now I can also declare that I am Native American for employment purposes...
46   Ceffer   2018 Oct 15, 2:12pm  

Warren and Obama demonstrate that whoring your way into Harvard on dimbulb PC premises is perfectly acceptable for libbies. After all, it IS a gold star.
51   Rin   2018 Oct 15, 3:10pm  

Ppl, there are NO professors at Harvard Law School (HLS), with pedigree from no name schools like Rutgers Law!

To make HLS's recruiting fair but now retroactive, since Liz's original app was inaccurate due to faulty communications, between her and her parents, Liz needs to attend an LLM program at places like Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Univ of Chicago, Univ of London, Univ of Cambridge, Univ of Oxford, Georgetown, Univ of Penn, and get solid A's or "first class honors", to be re-instated as a Harvard professor.

I suspect that she would not be able to pull it off and thus, needs to be fired from HLS.

And some Latinos.
These ignorant fools have been brainwashed into thinking they are "Latino" or "Hispanic." If they had any pride in their ancestry at all, they might claim they were Indians. Fucking morons! No wonder a handful of Spaniards was able to take them.
53   RWSGFY   2018 Oct 15, 3:53pm  

What's the point of awarding some "protections from discrimination" to some alleged member of a minority when in order to show that person belonging to said "minority" an extensive DNA test is required? I mean, if nobody fucking can tell you're a fucking X or Y, why the fuck do you insist on being treated difffently from your average "majority" member?

There are certainly enough DNA differences to tell, but commercial services like 23andme only look at a tiny fraction of DNA, and are notoriously imprecise. Which is probably why she didn't use one.

Bottom line, she believed her parents or grand-parents and this is such a huge deal in reps minds.

But Trump can lie in obvious ways, accumulate immoral behaviors and conflict of interests the size of Texas, and republicans just don't give a shit.

Objectively: if Warren is "full of crap", Trump is buried under 2 miles of his own crap.

I do not know if she got analysis which is more precise than commercial ones. Also, commercial analyses are apparently quite important for getting a reasonable database of ancestry vs. DNA sequences as many people participate (that is, sequences that show ancestry are actually obtained from commercial databases). May be some more biologically oriented person can explain here.
A conspiracy theorist may ask why she did not use a commercial service?
YUUGE deal is that she might have used xer beliefs to get into affirmative action benefits. Other than that, her beliefs of being Native American or Martian are not really important, at least in my mind.

1/1024 of people saw this test and believed her.

1023/1024 of us saw this test and laughed.

Warren also submitted recipes as "Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee" to a cookbook called "Pow Wow Chow", and apparently copied those recipes verbatim from a wire service.
https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/dec/01/facts-behind-elizabeth-warren-and-her-native-ameri/

Notice Polifact excluded the big fat "PANTS ON FIRE" from the header.

She also made the bullshit claim her mother suffered prejudice because of her Indian Ancestry. The lady on the right with the clear blue eyes look Indian to you? Or looks like any White Person?
