This means that your assessment is out by a factor of a few thousand years and also that she has indeed got a claim top have native American ancestry. Not enough to pop round to theirs for tea perhaps,but its there.

you are missing the point sport... 

This woman is being trolled for laying claim to something she has o claim to! she is listed as a 'native american staff at harvard law, Do you understand? this dishonest pig used affirmitive action to work the system to obtain a tenured position in one of the best schools on the idea she was the grand daughter of a native american (that was her orginal story not 1 in 10) And she is listed as a native american senator. so what does the native americans think of her shenanigans? as of feb 1 2019:
 And tribal leaders described the test as "useless."

"Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong," Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin, Jr., said in a statement at the time. "It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."

this taken from NPR where she appologizes for stealing native american glory/honor.

Native americans across the board are not having it, they demand stronger genetic ties to lay claim to what she has laid claim too. She is a monster for playing the system to promote her white over privileged ass as one of the people tis nation owes a great debt to. How many better qualified people did she surpass because of the title she took for her self?

Playing the people as fools in this way can not be what you want in a POTUS

I have a problem with the way that this is being presented to the public. Warren's DNA only becomes the business of the Cherokee Nation or any other nation if she tries to formally affiliate with the Cherokee Nation. She hasn't tried to formally affiliate. She has Native American DNA, and she is perfectly entitled to feel proud of that heritage and claim it as her own. The Cherokee Nation is acting like she has claimed citizenship in the Cherokee Nation. She hasn't. She is like someone who says that they are German, and they get a DNA test that confirms they have German ancestry. And then Germany gets all bent out of shape, acting like they have claimed German citizenship, even though they haven't done that.

The Cherokee Nation has a right to internally do anything that they want, regarding Warren's DNA. But they don't have a right to dictate US policy, regarding Warren's DNA, or to tell Warren that she isn't allowed to be proud of her heritage.  The only thing that they have a right to do is decide that she either is or isn't formally a citizen of their nation. They don't have a right to interfere with her being proud of her genetic heritage. And yes, she absolutely can claim it on paperwork that asks about her heritage. If she has to be an enrolled member of a tribe to claim a benefit, then she can't claim that benefit. As far as I know, she has never claimed a benefit that required her to be an enrolled member of a tribe.

That being said, Warren's history of claiming to be American Native is a little bit of a turn off to me, because I feel that she probably did it as a self loathing white girl. She wanted to be something else.
