      1. I understand why Warren did this politically, but it has to be said that the conflation of DNA with tribal identity (which Trump also does) is a classic case of whites imposing their ideology on cultures that have very different outlooks & practises. https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1051783184390664192 …

      2. DNA can't prove anything about "Indian" identity because tribal membership indigenous groups has rarely been about bloodlines. There's a long history of tribes adopting members from other tribes, as well as Europeans & Africans.

      3. In the video, Warren makes the proper distinction: "I'm not enrolled in a tribe, and only tribes determine tribal citizenship. I understand and respect that distinction." My worry is by doing DNA test she legitimizes dumb, Trumpian understanding of Native identity.

      4. Going forward, I do think one thing Warren can do is point out how bad Trump is on Native issues (including with Kavanaugh nomination) & just say his Pocahontas attack is part of a more general contempt for all things Native.

          EW also makes the correct point that the reason her claim of ancestry is credible is because her mother's family faced discrimination for it

          I agree with this. But I think that you don’t see the surface appeal of “look at her, she’s white and blonde, she’s just lying about having a native ancestor.”

          She's also BADLY in need of a Native surrogate to say this stuff, not her personally. Ugly business, but if her campaign doesn't already have people on that it's a BAD sign.

          I think this is the right point. She owned Trump on the $1 mill pledge, but this doesn't by itself address the issue. One has to point out that Trump's racist/sexist attacks are a part of a policy view that hurts Native Americans and does not regard them as equal citizens.
