In other news - I am more Native American than Elizabeth Warren.... and so is 30% or more of the U.S. population. Maybe I should follow her trail-blazing path and self identify as Native American instead of Caucasian.
Or maybe you should just look up the word "context" as it relates to her original comments with which you Trump boys took such issue. Up to you.
Boston Globe issue correction to their article (bottom of the page): Correction: Due to a math error, a story about Elizabeth Warren misstated the ancestry percentage of a potential 10th generation relative. It should be 1/1,024. https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/po...rican-issue/YEUaGzsefB0gPBe2AbmSVO/story.html
Good Lord, talk about massaging the data... Detecting DNA for Native Americans is particularly tricky because there is an absence of Native American DNA available for comparison. This is in part because Native American leaders have asked tribal members not to participate in genetic databases. “The tribes have felt they have been exploited,” explained Lawrence Brody, a senior investigator with the Medical Genomics and Metabolic Genetics Branch at the National Institutes of Health. “The amount of genetic data that is available from Native Americans is sparse.” To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American. That’s because scientists believe that the groups Americans refer to as Native American came to this land via the Bering Straight about 12,000 years ago and settled in what’s now America but also migrated further south. His report explained that the use of reference populations whose genetic material has been fully sequenced was designed “for maximal accuracy.”

Not really a problem for the left. At some point she can just say that she "identifies" as a Native American Indian and it's all good.
LOL... How stupid does she think we are? During her academic career as a law professor, she had her ethnicity changed from white to Native American at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where she taught from 1987 to 1995, and at Harvard University Law School, where she was a tenured faculty member starting in 1995. (She was a visiting professor at Harvard during the 1992-1993 academic year.) In an interview with the Globe published last month, Warren explained that she identified herself as Native American in the late 1980s and early 1990s as many of the matriarchs of her family were dying and she began to feel that her family stories and history were becoming lost.
In his defense, he did say "if it shows you are an indian". Technicalities notwithstanding, she isn't an indian. But he'd have lied about it anyway.
