From the Boston Herald, we learn that Elizabeth Sitting Full of Bull
Warren, will not list herself as “American
Indian.”
Despite repeated claims she is “proud” of her Cherokee
heritage, newly minted U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is keeping that pride under
wraps and won’t be taking advantage of a chance to officially list herself as
the Bay State’s first Native American U.S. senator.
Aides said Warren, who describes herself as part Cherokee
and part Delaware Indian, won’t contact historians at the Senate Historical
Office to tell them she’s Native American. The office lists minority senators
in its official directory.
Warren’s aides refused further comment, but Betty Koed, an
associate historian at the Senate Historical Office, said, “If her office wants
to call and have her listed, we’d be happy to do so.”
The office’s running tally of African American, Asian,
Hispanic and Native American senators is based on the senators’ biographies and
self-identification. Despite the extensive reporting of Warren’s claims of her
Native American heritage during last year’s campaign. Koed said the senator is
not being listed because she didn’t self-identify.
Massachusetts has elected to themselves, another phony. Congrats.
