I don't care, and I doubt few Americans do care, what Senator Elizabeth Warren's ethnicity is. But I do care and am troubled by her rabid need to be Native American. Why is this so important to her that she would make the outrageous claims she has made? It has been often noted that probably most Americans have a drop or two of American Indian blood. Even a cursory knowledge of American history would lend credibility to that claim. Tribal registration requires proof that one has at least 25% blood of that tribe. No less. So while Ms. Warren may have a drop of Native American blood, big deal. Is that all she has on which to hang her political future? Being a true member of an native tribe holds special significance that should not be belittled or diminished. We have taken everything they had. Do we really need to steal their heritage? That feels to me like the final insult.
