This whole Elizabeth Warren 1/512ths DNA "proof" of Native ancestry hurts Native people because it adds to the Republican attack that we are "race-based" and not citizens of nations. #Indigenous #Termination 1/5

Sen. Warren, who during Standing Rock in 2016 (when she was still claiming to be Native) never spoke out to advocate for the Water Protectors. Instead, she spoke sympathetically about the plight of DAPL pipeline workers. How does this "Honor Treaties? #NativeForum #Election2020

Thanks for discounting and marginalizing my voice as a Native thinker, cultural critic & journalist. Quoting Native Courtiers is not the same as the work I do. They are going to DC seeking funding and contracts. Also, your take on the Cherokee SoS is incredibly offensive.

So where is this idea coming from that tribes are furious with Warren? An unelected official at Cherokee Nation issued a scathing statement about her DNA test. Multiple ppl told me he was only speaking for himself. His statement is no longer online.

To all U.S. Senator Warren supporters: If you really care about resolving this, telling Cherokee people and other Natives to shut up is NOT the answer. THIS is the answer: demand Sen. Warren deal with this issue in a way that is respectful to the Cherokee Nation. That is all.
