Sen. Elizabeth Warren has apologized to the Cherokee Nation after releasing DNA test results in October indicating she had Native American ancestry, a tribe spokeswoman said Friday.

The Massachusetts Democrat’s apology — first reported by the Intercept (https://theintercept.com/2019/01/31/elizabeth-warren-2020-campaign-announcement/) — was made Thursday in a phone call to tribe chief Bill John Baker, Cherokee Nation spokeswoman Julie Hubbard confirmed to The Washington Post on Friday afternoon.


“Senator Warren has reached out to us and has apologized to the tribe,” Hubbard said in a statement. “We are encouraged by this dialogue and understanding that being a Cherokee Nation tribal citizen is rooted in centuries of culture and laws not through DNA tests. We are encouraged by her action and hope that the slurs and mockery of tribal citizens and Indian history and heritage will now come to an end.”


Warren is considering a run for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination. Her campaign could not be reached Thursday afternoon to confirm the apology.

But her family has high cheekbones.

It is still early in the morning. Lots of our forum members still sleeping off smoke 'em big peace pipe type evening. They will love this thread.

Add in it is first of the month and they all got to use their SNAP benefits to buy beer and it might not be an active forum until 6pm or so.

She just made the news by callling billionaires “freeloaders”. That’s kind of an odd stance seeing that the top 1% pays almost 40% and the top 10% pays 80% of the federal income tax collected.

50% pays nothing. I wonder if she has a plan to address that?

Has she disavowed her part in the “pow wow chow” cookbook?

Technically Elizabeth Warren has not announced her candidacy. She's still in the exploratory phase. Maybe she's going to back out of the race.

It depends . Did she announce that she had we were here first DNA? Or that she was a tribal citizen? If it's the former she has no call to apologize and should not of. If it's the later that would have been a foolish claim.

She is not a member of the Cherokee as she has claimed in the past. The Cherokee rely on oral tradition to recolonize members, not DNA tests. Regardless, Big Chief Warren got less Indian (feather not dot) in her than the average American who traces his/her roots to Europe.

She is insane.
