1/1024th Indian.With all due respect - why would one go on TV and proclaim this proves she deserved to get preferential treatment as a Cherokee Indian.My DNA shows a lot more.All of my kids show a lot more.Needless to say - the Cherokee Nation was not impressed.I got a feeling no one will be.And please - if this is the threshold - many whites will qualify as blacks , hispanics or anything else - the DNA lists a lot of partial ancestors.Are all Senators really this stupid - thinking this somehow proves anything?www.foxnews.com/politics/cherokee-nation-responds-to-senator-warren-says-dna-test-useless-to-determine-tribal-citizenship

The headlines are quite comical. “DNA strongly shows that Warren has Native American.” Here’s the deal. I work on genealogy. Almost all of us are 7-11th cousins with each other. I have an app from Ancestry.com that is called “We’re Related.” It shows how you are cousins with famous people, assuming you have entered in your family tree. I am related to about 300 famous people. The closest one is Miley Cyrus. She is my 7th cousin. And it’s real. Do you remember hearing about Rush Limbaugh being 8th cousins with Obama and GW Bush? We are all related. It’s no big deal. So, DNA has strongly found a connection about 7-10 generations away from Ms Warren. That’s not the point. She claims to be Native American and, I think used it to get into Harvard. I may be wrong about that, someone will correct me. So, here me now.....I am way more black than she is Native American. I am 3.8% African. That is, what, 1 in 26 or 27? She is like 1 in over 1000 Native American.

One more thing.....this is big: newsok.com/article/5611759/cherokee-nation-slams-elizabeth-warrens-dna-test-as-inappropriate-and-wrong

What percentage is required to share in the Casino receipts? I might be interested in my DNA. Just sayin'. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Nice one Cojak.The only Indian word I learned growing up was How. (Anyone else remember that?

Cultural appropriation at its finest. She's a fraud. She can't even name her native ancestor (not even one that was half native, like most people I know can) no idea how many generations back. Yet she claims for years how proud she is of it. And the dna used for comparison is South American. Wow Fauxcahontas, 90% of the redneck Texans I know are more native than you.

Based on what I have heard from my family, I'm probably 3/16ths Native American of three different tribes, I'm told, with Cherokee on both sides of the family. But a blood test could not get me membership in the Cherokee Tribes. There is a list from the early 1900's that was drawn up of tribe members, and you have to show descent from one of these members of the tribe. My ancestors must have assimilated in the 1800's and missed being carried away out west to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears.A lot of people in the southeast are part Native American, but have no legal standing when it comes to being a member of a tribe.Warren may have shown this to argue against those who consider a fraud. The amount in her blood and the lack of legal status as a Native American may not be enough to keep her critics from considering her a fraud, but it may be enough to gain favor in the eyes of liberal voters in Massachusetts. Maybe she hoped releasing the information would cause the contraversy to die down.1/64th may seem like a lot of Indian to people up in the Northeast. Maybe they are less mixed with Indian up there.I know about my own heritage just based on what my parents and other relatives in the family have told me. My great grandmother on one side was either half or full Cherokee. I have certain other tribes on my dad's side of the famil. Maybe a lot of Americans are told about their Indian ancestors. I've ticked Native American and White on some forms, unless it specifies that you have to be a member of a tribe. If I were in politics, would I get in trouble for ticking those Native American boxes

I don't have a problem with someone being proud of ANY amount of Native American herritage. I am. The problem with Fauxcahontas is that she has spent her entire adult life literally making a living off of her story. She told everyone her mother was Cherokee and Creek, she filled out every government form as other or native american, Harvard gave her recognition and accolades as being a Native American professor. She doubled down on it to blast Trump for political purpose.

someone just pointed out that Fauxcahontas has actually made appeals to the minority communities that SHE knew racial discrimination and prejudice because of her Native American heritage! Someone needs to run her out of office.Eddie - I did my DNA through Ancestry.com My first results showed 0% Native American, and 2% African/Nigerian, Asian, Other.Now they've re-done their estimates based on new samples, and that 2% has changed to Indian - North American, Central, South American. LOL

It could be that some people who did not look 'pure white' way back then claimed Indian heritage because it was considered more socially advantageous to do that than to claim black heritage. Then they didn't tell their kids, and they told them they were part Cherokee
