, Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren once told We the People that “You didn’t build that teepee!” or something along those lines. Her point being that in terms of the universal gestalt everything is interconnected and there’s no free lunch…or everyone gets a free lunch, or something. In any event, we are pleased to see that Ms. Warren has undergone rigorous scientific testing in order to prove her Cherokee heritage once and for all.
Apparently Native American DNA samples are few and far between in the United States, so the best she could come up with were DNA samples from Mexico and South America (Hola!).
Buried deep within the Globe story, however, is the admission that the Stanford University researcher [Carlos Bustamante] who studied her DNA sample did not actually use samples of Native American DNA to determine whether Warren’s dubious claims of Cherokee ancestry were true. To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American. -- Joel B. Pollak “Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Test Included 0% Actual Native American DNA
Apparently, there is a dearth of Native Americans in native America – such things as Native American DNA samples must be shopped for out of country. Who knew? Be that as it may, we can now at last say with certainty that Elizabeth Warren is 1/64 to 1/1024 native Peruvian, or something. Thank goodness that’s finally cleared up. I had no idea there was a Peruvian/Mexican/Columbian branch of the Cherokee tribe, but what do I know? I imagine that the Cherokee folks must be soo proud…well, maybe not. At any rate, 2020 here we come!
