Elizabeth Warren Ancestry Thread - Page 8

She still "Played the race card". To get an advantage.

But the Sombrero quip makes sense too. Bustamente didn't say which Indian tribe those centi-Morgans came from. Yet he knows they ARE Indian. Aztec or even Mayan? There has been a bit of recent research looking into tribal genes, to the point that tribal identification is possible. And that might be a bit of "Ilite libralness in the scholastic system".

This is, of course, not the case. Rather, leftists only value slurring other posters in any way possible.

So let's just get this settled right here and now:

Big Dog is critical of Senator Warren on this issue because, according to Big Dog's values, pinpoint accuracy is of the utmost importance.

We both know the bold statement to be false. If I'm wrong, correct me.

Trump made it is an issue, but for him to do that she would have at least first made it a... point I guess.

She mentioned native american ancestry on some forms decades ago and made a few comments about it when discussing racial issues. She did not use it to gain an advantage during the elections or for any political benefit that I am aware of.

The fault that this is an issue is all Trump's doing.

I hope Warren now lets this (non)issue rest.

We can trust the US media to come back to this (non)issue again and again and again during the primaries and the general election (assuming Warren runs, which I think is a certainty).
She should then just refer to the DNA study and move on to real issues.

"As a kid, I never asked my mom about documentation when she talked about our Native American heritage," Warren said in a 2012 campaign ad. "What kid would? But I knew my father’s family didn’t like that she was part Cherokee and part Delaware. So my parents had to elope."

Heredity tests come back and show she might have an insignificant amount of native Peruvian.

Thehe DNA test provides nothing on if that is a true or false statement. If she believed that, she isn't lying.

Trump says 'who cares' after Warren takes DNA test, denies $1 million offer

Quote:

"Who cares?" Trump said when asked about the DNA test. When pressed on the once-promised $1 million payment, Trump responded: "I didn't say that. You better read it again."

In fact, Trump did promise $1 million, during a July rally, but only if the test showed she was "an Indian."

At a rally in July, Trump said: "And we will say, 'I will give you a million dollars, paid for by Trump, to your favorite charity if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian ... we'll see what she does. I have a feeling she will say no but we will hold it for the debates."

Lies building upon lies. Warren claimed some small amount of native ancestry, birther in chief blows it up into a big deal. Now he's got to say that this amount of ancestry does not prove she's an Indian, even though she never claimed to be, but only claimed (correctly) to have some native American ancestry.

Trump lies. A lot.

You forget that she was born in 1949, which would place six generations back at 1795. That creates so many problems with the Cherokee/delaware claim.

ETA: 1795 is pretty close to early 1800s though, but I wanted to call specific attention to the issues around the trail of tears.

i was also using a generation time from between 25-30 years. However, there is a lot of variance in that (after all, women can become mothers before they have reached the age of 20.)

I do not know the ages when Warren's ancestors gave birth, but if people started having children earlier back then it would push the time frame back to the 1800s.

And no surprise that he would hide behind his own loudly proclaimed lies to welsh on a debt.

She has proven the claims she really has made to be true. Trump lied about the claims she made, and uses those lies as an excuse to weasel out.

And he probably can't afford to pay it anyway. He'd have to find someone else's money to do that.

Just as a bit of a side note, one of those tribes was something like a wholly-owned subsidiary of the other one for many years, see this page for some of the relevant history. Delaware are independent of the Cherokee for now, the result of years of negotiations between the two tribes. I’ve been following this legal wrangling for years, since my wife and kids are members of the Delaware Tribe, which does not have a minimum blood quantum requirement.

Guessing you aren't from Oklahoma.

The only way to become a member of some tribes round these parts is to show the tribal council you can trace your ancestry back many generations ago.

For example:

Here's the actual report: https://mk0elizabethwarh5ore.kinstac...eport_2018.pdf

Second to last page, caption for Figure 2:

Quote:

In this ancestry specific analysis [3]. the Native American haplotype of the test sample is displayed against a panel of Native American references from across North American. The test sample's Native American ancestry falls between the First Nations (Canada) and Indigenous Mexican peoples, as would be expected for Native American ancestry deriving from the lower 48 states of the United States.

(bolding added)(the "test sample" is Warren's DNA)

The report supports her family's lore. Her results do not show Peruvian ancestry, that's another lie.

The Cherokee were having regular contact with Euro-Americans by the early 18th century, and with sporadic contact for a century before that. The timing still works.

There is no angle to approach this discussion from that isn't stupid.

For a demagogue like Trump, whether or not Warren has any native blood, there always was and still is the angle of white resentment of "special rights" for minorities. You can see from the pathetic apologia of the trumpers here that they still accept the lie that Warren took advantage of her heritage claim.

So you are saying that Harvard took advantage of her heritage claim? Hmmm.

Plus, isn't putting it in a campaign ad trying to take advantage of it?

Oops...

Quote:

Bustamante also compared Warren’s DNA to white populations in Utah and Great Britain to determine if the amounts of Native American markers in Warren’s sample were significant or just background noise.

Warren has 12 times more Native American blood than a white person from Great Britain and 10 times more than a white person from Utah, the report found.

Her story seems clearly describing relations that occurred in Oklahoma. If the source of Cherokee blood is pre Oklahoma and they just so happened to end up in Oklahoma with the Cherokee, I don't think that aligns.

If the intermarriage from the family story occurred in Oklahoma, it can still work - the marriage in question might have been with someone who was themselves mixed race. Many of the Cherokee were themselves of mixed race generations before the expulsion to Oklahoma.

Remember, we are looking at the marriage of Warren's parents, nearly a century ago. The "one drop" rule was still a thing, in culture at least. So Warren's mother's family was suspected of being part native American. that could easily mean that they just knew that Warren's mother's grandmother married a Cherokee who might have had predominantly white ancestry to begin with

(I know that legally, the "one drop rule" didn't apply to Native American ancestry. But culturally, it probably still did in many circles.)

I gotta add, one of the whitest white people I've ever known (fair skin, blue eyes, white-blonde hair) had an ancestor on the Dawes role and was an active member of the Cherokee tribe. You can't miss those strong twangy Okie accents. You don't need to look even remotely Native American to actually be Native American, in the sense of having shared ancestry and culture.

Which is one of the reasons many felt the complaints about her claims were misplaced. So many people do have mixed heritage.

Not me though.

pgwenthold · 15th October 2018, 09:06 AM

I've been seeing responses saying things like, "Oh, but she's not actually part of the tribe" and stuff like that.

And the answer is, of course not. And she never claimed to be.

But yeah, knock down that straw man.

She's going after Trump to give the million dollars. His response is .... weird. It's one thing to say, "I wasn't serious" when your bluff gets called. Or "that's not good enough." But the whole, "I didn't say that" is just mental.

I mean, who are the supporters stupid enough to buy that?

That is all a lot of coincidences trafficking in the traditional Oklahoma narrative that is post 1840 relocation ancestry.

A lot. She further claimed specific tribal ancestry.

While that may be outside 'living' memory, it is certainly not ancient history. I know people who have built family trees that go back that far. You forget that she was born in 1949, which would place six generations back at 1795. That creates so many problems with the Cherokee/delaware claim. ETA: 1795 is pretty close to early 1800s though, but I wanted to call specific attention to the issues around the trail of tears. i was also using a generation time from between 25-30 years. However, there is a lot of variance in that (after all, women can become mothers before they have reached the age of 20.) I do not know the ages when Warren's ancestors gave birth, but if people started having children earlier back then it would push the time frame back to the 1800s.

Trump lied about the claims she made, and uses those lies as an excuse to weasel out. And he probably can't afford to pay it anyway. He'd have to find someone else's money to do that.

Bustamente didn't say which Indian tribe those centi-Morgans came from. Yet he knows they ARE Indian. Aztec or even Mayan? There has been a bit of recent research looking into tribal genes, to the point that tribal identification is possible. And that might be a bit of "Ilite libralness in the scholastic system". Good thing you showed up. I was afraid poor TBD was going to throw his back out lugging those goal posts around all by himself.

The interpretation was that it was Cherokee blood because her family was in Oklahoma and so we're the Cherokee. But at minimum 6 generations, we start having problems of Cherokee not being in Oklahoma and who know where her family was back then.

Just as a bit of a side note, one of those tribes was something like a wholly-owned subsidiary of the other one for many years, see this page for some of the relevant history. Delaware are independent of the Cherokee for now, the result of years of negotiations between the two tribes. I’ve been following this legal wrangling for years, since my wife and kids are members of the Delaware Tribe, which does not have a minimum blood quantum requirement. Originally Posted by The Big Dog No I think it is silly to claim that one has Native American history because maybe someone 6 to 10 generations ago might have been native American. Guessing you aren't from Oklahoma. The only way to become a member of some tribes round these parts is to show the tribal council you can trace your ancestry back many generations ago. For example: Originally Posted by Wikipedia Tribal membership is limited exclusively to descendants of Delaware people on the 1906 tribal rolls from Indian Territory.

Heredity tests come back and show she might have an insignificant amount of native Peruvian. Our Conclusion: Eight Fauxcahontas Originally Posted by BobTheCoward She further claimed specific tribal ancestry. Here's the actual report: https://mk0elizabethwarh5ore.kinstac...eport_2018.pdf Second to last page, caption for Figure 2: Quote: In this ancestry specific analysis [3]. the Native American haplotype of the test sample is displayed against a panel of Native American references from across North American. The test sample's Native American ancestry falls between the First Nations (Canada) and Indigenous Mexican peoples, as would be expected for Native American ancestry deriving from the lower 48 states of the United States. (bolding added)(the "test sample" is Warren's DNA) The report supports her family's lore. Her results do not show Peruvian ancestry, that's another lie. The Cherokee were having regular contact with Euro-Americans by the early 18th century, and with sporadic contact for a century before that. The timing still works.

I don't understand why Elizabeth Warren thought her homeopathic level of Native Americaness was something any of us were the least bit interested in and I don't care that the Republicans think it's a hill to die defending. There is no angle to approach this discussion from that isn't stupid. For a demagogue like Trump, whether or not Warren has any native blood, there always was and still is the angle of white resentment of "special rights" for minorities. You can see from the pathetic apologia of the trumpers here that they still accept the lie that Warren took advantage of her heritage claim.

Quote: Bustamante also compared Warren’s DNA to white populations in Utah and Great Britain to determine if the amounts of Native American markers in Warren’s sample were significant or just background noise. Warren has 12 times more Native American blood than a white person from Great Britain and 10 times more than a white person from Utah, the report found. https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/pol...c:article:stub Another swing and a miss for The Big Dog.

If the source of Cherokee blood is pre Oklahoma and they just so happened to end up in Oklahoma with the Cherokee, I don't think that aligns.
