BOSTON (AP) — Responding to years of derision by President Donald Trump and other critics, Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Monday released a report on a DNA analysis that provides strong evidence she does, in fact, have Native American heritage.
The analysis on the Massachusetts Democrat was done by Stanford University professor Carlos D. Bustamante. He concluded Warren’s ancestry is mostly European but says “the results strongly support the exist the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.”
Bustamante, a prominent expert in the field of DNA analysis, determined Warren’s pure Native American ancestor appears “in the range of six to 10 generations ago.”

That meshes with an 1894 document the New England Genealogical Society unearthed suggesting Warren’s great-great-great-grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, was at least partially Native American. That would make Warren 1/32nd Native American.

Fixed for you.. In reality according to test she is 1/512 native american, which is way more than I am.

Oh, thank you. Your Dear Leader's puppet will be so very pleased to hear that.

 

[T.G.G. Moogly]

I heard that Trump is going to reciprocate to prove that he is less than 2/3 orangutan.

 

[Trausti]

So the headline is that Warren is 0% [1/1024] Native American. Brilliant.

No, the headline is that Trump is less than 2/3 orangutan.

According to the author of the report, the reality according to the test is it somewhere between 1/64 and 1/1024.

I think we're going to require a larger blood sample.

Also, some of these tests are little less than reliable.

I'm much more native american than Warren, but I've never tried to pretend that it means anything. It's not like I was raised with a tribal affiliation (my great great grandmother was Lakota) and it really doesn't mean much.

I don't remember the original context of Warren's claim, but why is this even an issue?

No, report says 10 generations which is just a way to express 1/512 which was found in her DNA. So no such uncertainty.

You really have problems.

I resent the implication that the American electorate (or electoral college) installed an orangutan in the Oval Office. Do your homework and read more widely on this website. Another user has, time and time again, more accurately identified POTUS as a tangerine shitgibbon. Different habitat, different dietary requirements. Tends to shit from higher up in the tree, which means more splatter. Screams and howls with a much different (and louder) vocal tone than the relatively quiet orangutan.

 

[dismal]

So, she's white.

 

[Tom Sawyer]

So, she's white.

Does that actually count as white, though? If you have one drop of mutt DNA in you, aren't you just a mutt and not a pure breed?

And more importantly, within the bounds of the claim of Elizabeth Warren.

Warren never claimed to be a full on Native American. Even if her grandmother was native american, that'd make her 1/8th. It splits off real quick.

And of course, the obfuscation continues from the right-wing on even most remotely unimportant concessions... that yes, Elizabeth has a Native American in her family tree. All the mocking, especially by Trump, turned out to be misplaced.

And we will not hold our breath to see that $1 million Trump promised for evidence of her claim. Granted, his statement was possibly vague by design, seeing that Warren never claimed to be "an Indian" to begin with.

The way these tests work they find correlations with modern populations. They don't "prove" anything. I think literally what they proved in this case is a small portion of her genetic makeup is correlated to people in modern day Mexico, Peru and Colombia since they don't have much actual Native American DNA to compare to.

In an entirely unsurprising turn of events, Fragilego Mussolini denies making a promise to donate $1 million to charity if Warren proved her NA ancestry via a DNA test:

During a campaign rally on July 5, Trump taunted Warren for her claims of Native American ancestry, a staple of his campaign stump speeches.

"I will give you a million dollars, to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian," Trump said at the time. "I have a feeling she will say 'no.' "

Of course Trump is notorious for stiffing charities on promises. Plus he's a pathological liar, so this isn't the least bit surprising.

 

[dismal]

Well, one thing we can say for sure is that it does not count as being Native American on an employment form.

Yes, it seems to confirm her family story.

There is more than enough to separate Native (north) americans from native (south) americans.
If you are worried you can get pure native american DNA from old remnants.

Well, regardless of what you can do, that's not what they did do. They compared her DNA to samples they had on record and found a small amount of her DNA was correlated to people from Mexico, Peru and Colombia.

You want her deported?
Report says "native americans"
