Warren could easily resolve Indian mystery

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is doubling down on her claims to Native American ancestry — and on her outrage.

She recently pointed to the Oval Office portrait of President Andrew Jackson as “offensive” because it honors “a man who did his best to wipe out Native people.”

Funny: Just three years ago, Warren was the keynote speaker at a 2015 Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner, such events being commonplace for the party that Jackson founded.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Massachusetts Democrat seems to think that going on the offensive is her best strategyfor answering President Trump’s “Pocahontas” taunts, which refer to the “Fauxcahontas” charges she’s faced since her first run for the Senate.

Her problem is that she first started publicly presenting herself as Native American back when her academic career had stalled — and seemed to benefit from the claim of minority status when she wound up becoming Harvard Law School’s first tenured “Indian” professor.

with all of the DNA kits out there now it is so easy to find out the truth about who you really are. We had stories in our family about being part Indian cuz were all good hunters. There was supposed to be Irish in our Family too. Guess what, we are norse and german, with some african in there. Family stories are just that, stories.

Those mail order DNA kits are a FARCE! My daughter tried one and it said she was 70% BLACK, LOL! She's about as black as the driven snow.

You need a REAL DNA test done by a doctor for real results.

She's just stringing us all along, fearing that a DNA test would put an end to her claim.

Black is not a region genius.

She's a fraud. And genuine Indians have pointed that out. She has no tribal membership. 24/7 forked tongue from her.
