    The question is not "What part Cherokee are you?" (Answer is ALL of me!)

    The question is- do you maintain tribal affiliation. And yes, there IS a structured process for that. And no, she never has.

    As the writer points out in the Op-Ed piece (well written BTW) Native American is the only group that the question of "percentage" comes up. Warren has been deliberately deceptive, and frankly, has behaved in a manner that would have had anyone else crucified as a bigot.

    During High School dated an Indian girl named "Six-Killer".

    At the time supposed it refered someone being able to drink a six pack and still stand with honor. Later found out that wasn't true.

    Trump could have named Pocahontas Little Beaver but smartly choose the former.

    Supposedly, her family lore was that there was a Cherokee blood line 5 generations ago. This has not been documented.

    Warren, until up for promotion at Harvard as a minority professor, pretty much claimed to be white. She was an Indian for a few years, was tenured, and became white again.

    There is no reason for her to doubt the family lore, but we have to first believe that her parents actually told her that she was part Cherokee. Perhaps they did her siblings support her. Some of her cousins, particularly those she has not met, dispute the claim.

    I would apply the term opportunistic and evasive more than deceptive.

    Does not change the fact, however, that someone as demonstrably brain-dead as Elisabeth Warren should not have been a professor at any university, and it much kinder to suggest she used an affirmative action program to advance rather than sleeping her way to the top.
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    Yep.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    While she has been proven not to be Native American, maybe she should
    be looked at for being tri-polar.

    Can she be impeached for being unstable, fantasizing? Well maybe not, then a testing process may be legislated and take another ten years to figure out.

    It may be because they may be unstable as well
    and do not want to be outed. After all there may
    not be other employment elsewhere in the jobs market.
