Hah this is funny.
I actually have more Native American in my DNA results, yet I would never claim to be Native American.
I had one Native American grandmother back... I t

hink it was 7 generations. I will have to check again to be sure.
I actually know that specifically because of researching my family tree.

I am pretty sure that DNA is diluted by then so that it does not really count.

I need to get my test so I can be one with my peoples... I'm hoping I can claim at least a half dozen ethnic markers so I can reap all the benefits and celebrate all heritage months... Being 6'5" blond with hazel eyes shouldn't be too much of a hindrance in being accepted by all my peoples.


Man, I can see this explode if she runs for POTUS as white people start taking the test to be a minority too. Trump in his 4D chess is going to run with this as he declares we need to fix the poorest group in America, the American Indian.

I don't see any Tribes being too happy with all of this as she continues to exploit them on the world stage.

She claimed the nationality Native American.
That was a lie. You can't just appropriate a nationality when you only have a trace amount back many generations.

ETA: Do you realize where the 1/1024 comes from?
10 generations back, we all have 1,024 grandparents, just in that generation.
If you accumulate all of the direct grandparents back to that generation, there are 2,047.
So, out of 2,047, one of her ancestors was possibly Native American.

... You mean Harvard listing her as minority because she said she had ancestry? Or are you talking about some made up Trump claim?

But, at lest she did take the test. I'll grant her that.

Lol if? Her test is looking a lot like Ford's polygraph test in the secrecy, numbers, what did they use etc...for some private group to put all efforts into proving she is American Indian and get 1/64th to 1/1024th I have my concerns in the validity of it all.


Even with all that they say it is a best guess a WAG, since they do not have very many American Indian genic markers to use in the first place... a little thing about the white man exploiting them once again...

There are no tribes that would accept Warren as one of them:
How Much Percentage of Native American Do You Have To Be To Enroll With a Tribe

And yet she didnt claim to be a member of the tribe. Only that she had ancestry from that tribe.

She claimed to be native American according to Harvard.

Did Trump claim Pocahontas was Native? I don't remember that...

Ancestry.com says Im both Charles and Diana's 10th cousin, does that mean Im a royal? lol We share a grandmother De la Spencer.

But for at least six straight years during Warren’s tenure, Harvard University reported in federally mandated diversity statistics that it had a Native American woman in its senior ranks at the law school. According to both Harvard officials and federal guidelines, those statistics are almost always based on the way employees describe themselves.

In addition, both Harvard’s guidelines and federal regulations for the statistics lay out a specific definition of Native American that Warren does not meet.

The documents suggest for the first time that either Warren or a Harvard administrator classified her repeatedly as Native American in papers prepared for the government in a way that apparently did not adhere to federal diversity guidelines. They raise further questions about Warren’s statements that she was unaware Harvard was promoting her as Native American.

Filings add to questions on Warren’s ethnic claims

Damn.

So you could likely get more Native American DNA from watching F-Troop re-runs.

Crazy old white woman.

Thank you for proving my point, lol.

Trump claimed that Warren claimed she did. MANY TIMES. With out source and let people after the fact find things that fit his narrative be they wrong or not.

I am sure you heard Warren say many times that she is Native American.

Well to be fair, BlueAjah is being miss leading with that stats. He is only focusing on the upper bound and completely ignoring the lower bound which is 1/32 to 1/64 depending on the source of the story.

There's always a chance that liz didn't say anything and someone at harvard just looked at her(those cheekbones) and knew she was obviously native and marked her as such.

Seems reasonable to assume that, as opposed to the much more unlikely scenario of her just checking the box as native.

She said she had ancestry. Others are making the claim that she is pretending to be part of a native tribe when she did not make that claim.

... You mean Harvard listing her as minority because she said she had ancestry? Or are you talking about some made up Trump claim?

Kind of more like this, plus all the crap she been spouting since then about being American Indian...

During her academic career as a law professor, she had her ethnicity changed from white to Native American at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where she taught from 1987 to 1995, and at Harvard University Law School, where she was a tenured faculty member starting in 1995.

What was the made up Trump claim? Kind of hard to suggest she hasn't been exploiting the American Indian heritage thing for decades.

Odd that one of the people in charge of that stuff at Penn doesnt seem to agree with your claims.
Penn faculty stand by Elizabeth Warren as controversy around her heritage flares up again


Edit: This seems like the perfect example of employer abusing Affirmative Action by claiming a non-minority as a minority to get around quotas, but no it can only be that an opponent to DJT is a lair.

Most Americans are part mutt. Liz is whiter than my part Cherokee ass that never see’s the sun.

Technically for most tribes it isn’t up to a percentage. It’s up to if your name is on the original scrolls.

To put it this way I’m 1% ashkenazi Jew and it’s estimated that I had a full blooded Jew relative less than 6 generations ago. So I’m not sure how she got such big percentages?

To be fairer 1/64th is the best she can hope for... The 1/32nd was a math mistake, so you pick 1/128 1/256 or 1/512 and we both will be in the middle in all this.
