If I'm doing the arithmetic correctly, Senator Warren's geneticist's finding that she had a single American Indian ancestor about 8 generations got makes her 1/256th or 0.4% Native American. 8 generations ago would be a single great-great-great-great-great-great grandparent.
This implies that one of Senator Warren's great-great-great-grandmothers was about 1/8th Indian but nobody in her family would ever forget it: "Make sure that Great-Grandma gets sarsaparilla and not corn likker, or she'll go on the warpath, cuz you know how those redskins are."
Cool: now point out where EW ever claimed 2B “a citizen of Cherokee Nation” (U can’t: she hasn’t), rather than EW claiming she has Indian ancestors in her family tree. I claim having German ancestors (8 gen back, they immigrated from GE), but I don’t claim 2B a German citizen...
