Maybe Pocahontas really is Pocahontas

[Allen]

Maybe Elizabeth Warren really does have native Indian blood heritage or maybe this report is as real as obama's computer generated birth certificate but in any case it will probably stick.

All the more reason to call her Pocahontas.

She claims to be Cherokee -- anyone with any knowledge of American Indians would never do that. The Cherokee are unique -- they have their own system of writing, and have detailed records. They can refute false claims in a heart beat!

Don't think the term bothers her much, or her supporters. And maybe Allen could get his DNA tested to confirm what the family Bible says about his aunt also being his half-sister.

No doubt, as all the evidence of her life-long pattern of lying never bothered members of the Hillary cult. Just heard one member of that cult, a CNN reporter ("April"--what a name for a woman with that ugly bulldog face!), claim she had NEVER HEARD of Hillary disbelieving or maligning the women who had accused her husband!!!

I don't care what she is as long as she represents the people of Mass and not me.

Real report or not. Someone may have jumped the fence 10 generations ago so I surely wouldn't call that a heritage.
What does it take to be legally part American Indian? 1/4 or 1/8th? I don't think 1/200th matters. A flyspeck in a snowball.

We're all probably mongrels to one extent or another

And now, sadly, not even the Royal Family can consider itself exempt. But the extent of the mongrelization still makes a huge difference!

It is just another Democrat scam. My 1/2 sister is into the ancestry.com thing DNA thing and Ancestry.com just happened to update their "findings." Now me and my 1/2 sister and millions of others that have had their DNA tested now have 1% American Indian both North and South American Indian DNA including Warren.

Here are the NEW findings for my sister...


Norway
4%
Refined from:
Scandinavia 9%
Native American—North, Central, South NEW
1%
Migrations
Tennessee & Southern States Settlers
West Tennessee, Western Kentucky & Virginia-North Carolina Piedmont Settlers
Northern Arkansas & Middle Tennessee Settlers
Arkansas River Valley Settlers
Lower Midwest & Virginia Settlers
Missouri Ozarks & East Tennessee Settlers
Western North Carolina Settlers
Western North Carolina & North Georgia Settlers
North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains Settlers

Hardly conclusive! Report: "strong evidence", "suggests 6-10 generations ago", 'if Great, Great, Great grandmother was native Amer. she would be 1/32. At 10 generations she would be 1/1,024'. Report also states "she may be less then average American"

All the ad's you see for DNA tests seem to show a lot of people with native Amer. blood and also African. Me thinks they have an agenda!

They also leave your DNA on file to be shared with who knows who.

thats because there are no benefits being given for being of white european ancestory.

Dave, Spot-on there. I know that my great, great grandmother was Indian (probably Caddo, just my thoughts). I make no claims to "being Indian"..... just an American. I reckon that would be anathema to the Dim in question.

Same here. I have the story from a lady who did genealogy in the '30s and have since run into it several times from several sources.

There was an Irishman named Ruben Cole serving in the British Army during the Revolution. He was part of a detachment guarding a bridge in New York, and that detachment was wiped out by Patriots. Somehow, he survived (there are different versions of how) and found refuge with a family named Huyck. The husband was Dutch, the wife Mohawk. They had a daughter named Lydia who married Ruben. One of Ruben and Lydia's great-grand daughters, Caroline Elizabeth Cole was my great-grand mother.

Now I can trace the line through census and similar records back to Ruben and Lydia -- but not beyond them. If the story about Lydia's parents is true, that would make me 1/128th Mohawk.

Vern, The written records we have only say that, that particular man ancestor was "Married, to woman". It seems as though folks around those areas did not take well to his marriage, to her. I do have a portrait of them, which IMO is pretty remarkable in itself. He looks hauntingly like me (poor guy) with a rounded fedora hat and string tie and suit coat of rough materials. She is in buckskins, etc., glaring at the camera!
Even if records are off by a generation that'd make me 1/32nd plus whatever from other directions.... oh well. As before, I am American.
