Elizabeth Warren's apology for her false heritage claims at the Native American Presidential Forum dodged the real issues and failed to atone for pushing a harmful narrative. We have Cherokee scholar Joseph M. Pierce (@PepePierce) with a response.

"Trust comes with daring to put the ethical obligations of mutual respect before politics. This is what being in good relations means. As a Cherokee, that is what matters to me."
"I suspect that Warren’s team made sure—prior to committing to speak at the forum—that she would not be asked about her claims in an effort to control the narrative, rather than engage with Cherokee people. In truth, this is a form of censorship, a limitation of discourse."
"Warren’s false claims will affect all tribal nations today, tomorrow, and the next day. These are vital issues. And they are part of the broader legacy of settler colonialism through which Indigenous peoples are dispossessed of land, culture, and kinship." – @PepePierce
