That's not even relevant. She related a family story which the Republicans seized on in order to be able to call her a racially-charged name. She has now demonstrated that she does have Native American blood. She is not trying to claim tribal rights.

Exactly! Read her tweets. She has stated exactly this. Repubs are scared they won't control the narrative and she has seized the helm. They are trying to spin to their own advantage. Won't work. We love
@SenWarren and her dogged persistence!#MidtermElections#FlipTheHouse

has she asked to be recognized and asking for citizenship to cherokee nation? If not, lets move on. DNA says she has the markers - done. Let's move on from this focus.

She's not trying to determine her tribal identity, though. She's just proving that she has Native American ancestry because the President accused her of not having any. What the DNA test is "irrelevant to" is the fight against better wages, education, health care, immigrants...

At no point did she ever claim "tribal identity." Ancestry is not a claim of membership. My understanding is to claim membership most tribes require one must be within two generations (grandparents at least).

Her DNA test was regarding ancestry, not “tribal identity.”

People all over the world have and have had mixed ancestry. The idea of belonging to a “pure tribe” to exclude others leads to but tribal warfare. The unique positive contribution of any tribe is to our common humanity.

Irrelevant? She has basically lied her whole life and used special status to jump the Que. Great diversion tactic NPR.
-
how did she jump the queue? examples and sources
-
LOL. Just google it. Indian status was assumed because she talked about it on many occasions.
-
again when did she use it to jump the line like you suggested? she claimed it yes and its proven she has the genetic markers. other than that, when did she use it to get into college, or her jobs or in any instance used it to her advantage that you implied.
-
"Genetic Markers." LOL. Utter bullshit. She lied. Period.

Dodobell exposes nothing but his bias.

Well the Cherokee are not the only Native Americans. I am Native America and not part of the Cherokee and I don’t feel this way.

Oh no doubt. However I’m saying the Cherokee don’t speak for all natives. They can’t dismiss another native just because they think they are the only natives.
