I've always felt it was wrong. I'm 1/64th Cherokee, but that's apparently enough to be a member of the Cherokee Nation. I've never put it on any application because it somehow feels wrong, despite my membership.
Although, humorously my 50% Chinese heritage has resulted in several people saying they can "see" my Cherokee features lol. But yeah, I don't understand why this is a big deal. If she identifies as NA and has the DNA to back it up, let her. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Her political opponents need something on her.

She's 1/64th at most, and probably a lot less.

Actually, Warren is at most, 1/64 Mexican, Peruvian, or Colombian. lol Maybe she'll have better luck with another test.

Okay stop moving the goalposts. She never claimed Native American Status, officially or otherwise. She made a statement: "I have Native American ancestry" Which is an objective fact. Does that give her tribal status? No. But the argument was never about that to begin with. FFS --- Rainbow Dashing: "it's just star wars" AutumnEspirit: *kissu* ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm some very very tiny percentage native American. Like, 1/256th or something. Can't remember what tribe, just that it began with a C. I'd have to look at my grandma's genealogy records. I've never claimed it or wanted to, I'm pretty obviously German and Slavic in my features.
I always found it funny that that side of the family has nothing to do whatsoever with Indian anything but the other side of my family lives very near/amongst the Tohono O'odham community in southern Arizona, of which many were my classmates and friends growing up, and I learned a lot more about native American history from my grandfather, who was a local expert on old Indian cave paintings and helped them compile and publish data on medicinal plants. --- PSN: helicene Careful, Icarus. ...

Add in that she said this is a significant part of her life. Wrote a ridiculous ignorant Cherokee cook book, used it for college, said it gave her high cheek bones, etc. And she is saying this is a win...she was passing off like she was 1/8th. Im 1/8 native and 8% African and I think it would be ridiculous to call myself a black man or a Native American. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As someone who had native on both sides of my family, status with the nation is complicated.
For instance my grandpa's mother would have need to file for membership for my grandpa to gain benefits from what I understand. That doesn't mean he is not native american. It means he and his mother didn't feel like going through the trouble of filing and following their rules. I have an uncle who is directly native american and from what I understand he also is not a member. (as in his mother is 100% native) --- chill02 to me: you are beautiful ... Copied to Clipboard!
