Cherokees: Elizabeth Warren’s Heritage Claim ‘harmful and offensive… We don’t claim you’


Senator Elizabeth Warren has gone after Donald Trump recently with both guns blazing.  Mr. Trump has largely responded by attacking the senator’s suspicious assertion that she holds Cherokee Indian ancestry.  And, Donald Trump is not the only one criticizing Warren on the issue.  A group of at least 150 Cherokee Indians is really not happy with her.

More than 150 Cherokee Indians have joined a group online demanding more information from Massachusetts senate candidate Elizabeth Warren about her claims of Native American heritage.

“You claim to be Cherokee. … We don’t claim you!” the group “Cherokees Demand Truth from Elizabeth Warren” declares on its website.

Warren has been embroiled in a controversy for weeks after it was revealed that the Harvard law professor once touted herself as an American Indian minority. She has since struggled to prove those claims as critics argue she claimed that heritage to further her career.

According to a mission statement posted on its website, the group is made up of “authentic Cherokees and descendants devoted to sharing the truth about our history.”

In the era of identity politics, Senator Warren is not the first on the left to claim false heritage.  Last year, the now-former president of the NAACP’s Spokane chapter, Rachel Dolezal,  found herself in hot water after it was discovered she was actually a white woman masquerading as a black woman.
