    Anyway, read the piece and consider what this mix of Native people has to say about Warren's DNA test. There's a diversity of Native voices out there and it certainly feels like this perspective isn't getting much attention in the media.

    Here's Richard Sneed, principal chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Is he mad at Warren for taking a DNA test to understand her ancestry? Not. At all.

    All of this is happening in the context of Native ppl being practically invisible in popular culture. led a big research project on Americans' perceptions of Native ppl. Her findings: most of what they know comes from toxic stereotypes perpetuated by the media.

    Rep. Sharice Davids of Kansas and Rep. Deb Haaland are here! They are the first Native women in Congress. They are already at work and are casting votes this evening as Indian Country honors them at reception in Washington DC

    Missing from so much of the news coverage of Native people being outraged by Elizabeth Warren's DNA test: Native voices. I asked prominent tribal leaders and Native people about it. Surprise: they said Warren is an ally and this narrative is media fodder.

    The media coverage of the Elizabeth Warren/Native American stuff has been pretty bad. What’s missing? Native voices. talked to prominent tribal leaders about it — definitely check out her piece

    Is there legitimate anger at Warren for inflaming complicated issues around Native identity + tribal citizenship vs ancestry, even if unintentional? Yes. Is Indian Country collectively outraged at Warren over this and focused on it? Absolutely not.

    Is Warren's DNA test really an issue on the minds of tribal leaders? No. They've got their hands full with serious problems that don't get nearly as much attention.
