re: #181 gwangung

A lot of her methodology is similar to “pretend-Indians”; never involved with a tribe, never registered with a tribe, not a supporter of native cultural efforts, but take a DNA test to “prove” their ancestry. For example, she did little work with native leaders on Standing Rock.

Native folks are VERY resentful of this sort of behavior, and it’s clear Warren isn’t cognizant of that resentment, which is not a good look.

Well, she’d never actually tried to benefit from her heritage, and only took the test in reponse to Trump’s taunting, and released the results. Her stories sound an awful lot like stories I heard, including my mom’s side of the family being related to Wyatt Earp.
