If you're part of @TeamWarren I hope you stop, listen to Cherokee voices, and hold your candidate accountable.
- like many White families, the story she grew up w/ of Cherokee heritage is simply false and it was wrong to repeat it.
- using DNA tests to claim Native identity is dangerous.
- Native ppl alone determine who is and who isn't Native
The response mostly restates her policy platform on Native issues and quotes about a dozen Native people who have said positive things about her in the past.
To correct the misunderstanding Warren caused, the public doesn’t need a lengthy policy statement, they need an example.
