re: #240 Belafon

The Native American’s I keep seeing news reports about when asked about Warren don’t seem too bothered by her claim, because she’s helped them and she personally never tried to benefit from it.

A lot of the Native Americans I work with are kinda upset, because of the history of this…they’ve been trying to re-emphasize the ties of culture and involvement, and not just DNA ancestry, and Warren seemingly undercuts this (because it’s taken as gospel truth by the racist right that Warren got all sorts of advantages because of her ancestry).

Some were not that chuffed, but they were irritated that she didn’t move in concert with various Native American tribes (and she didn’t do more for Standing Rock).
