…is poised to rob the Native of her birthright. Again.
Somewhere, an Italian dude dressed as a Cherokee-Cree warrior sheds a single poignant tear — and a Norwegian fake paratrooper and art plagiarist posing as a Creek rails against capitalism, the blood quantum, and white ladies who wear turquoise jewelry.
It’s funny to think or imagine that Warren’s story might almost be instructive as to the flimsiness of historical consciousness as a ground from which to build political institutions, a flimsiness quite apart from the political tale of power Warren herself has purchased at a life devoted to leftish politics. We can be fairly sure though, can we not, that Warren will learn none of this from the episode, however impinging as it may prove on her own fortunes? Learning of that sort for leftism is just not in the cards.
The Great Spirit is going to send Ms. Warren’s political life to the Happy Hunting Grounds.
That’s what she gets for speaking with forked tongue.
F her and the palomino she rode in on.
Maybe Elizabeth Warren will take up speech writing for Barak Obama and/or Al Sharpton. Or maybe she’ll just go to Texas too.
It will take more than your high cheekbones to win you one of those highly sought after jobs dealing Blackjack at the casino, Ms Warren.. and you can forget about getting your cigarettes at cost, too.
Oklahoma, when it was the “Indian Territory”, had many tribes living there – Cherokee, Cheyanne, Kiowa, you name it.
So how come all these dinks seem to be “Cherokee”?
Ans: The Eastern Band, when hard up, sold Tribal membership (2nd Class!) to wannabe jerks like Ward “Walking Eagle” Churchill.
Later, they said “never mind”. AFTER they had the money. They’re not stupid.
In sum: if you are not on the rolls, you are NOT a Cherokee, no matter what delusions Grandma had.

Exactly. The Cherokee are one of the Five Civilized Tribes who went to DC to meet with the Great White Father. Evidently, they learned from the masters while they were there.
