Elizabeth Warren Refuses to Meet With Cherokee Indian Delegates, Sends Staffers Instead

Jun. 18, 2012 4:51pm Becket Adams

Last time when we talked about Massachusetts senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren, we promised that we’d take a break from reporting on her “fauxcahontas” problem. However, seeing as how we made that promise on May 18, we think it’s time to once again dive back in.

As most Blaze readers know, Warren’s woes involve her paper-thin claims to Cherokee heritage. Many people are questioning her supposed lineage, but perhaps the most important questioning comes from a contingent of actual Cherokees. Suspicious that the former Harvard law professor falsely claimed that she was part Indian to get ahead in academia, they’ve asked that she prove her ancestry with something more substantial than “family lore” and recipes of questionable origin.

However, according to the Boston Herald, the Warren campaign won’t return their phone calls or answer their emails.

“It’s almost becoming extremely offensive to us,” said Twila Barnes, a Cherokee genealogist who has done research on Warren’s family history. “We’re trying to get in contact and explain why her behavior hurts us and is offensive, and she totally ignores that. Like we don’t exist.”

Therefore, Barnes and three other registered Cherokee tribal members — from Missouri, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Massachusetts — decided to go Boston to speak with Warren personally.

So what did Warren do? You’d think a senatorial candidate who’s taking a lot of flak for highly-dubious heritage claims would handle this delicately. You know, meet with the “Cherokee activists,” snap some photos — the usual stuff.

But no: Instead of meeting with the Cherokee contingent, Warren did what the Lone Ranger would’ve done — she made someone else go.

“Late last night, a Warren campaign official told the Herald that staffers will ‘connect’ and ‘offer to have staff meet with them,’” the Herald reports.

Barnes says they will settle for a staffer (although not happily) as long as they accomplish their main objective: to have Warren admit that she’s not really Native American.

“We would like to see her look at the documentation and admit there’s no Indian ancestry there and then apologize,” Barnes said. “Hear us. Acknowledge us. Know that she’s brought us into this. We didn’t bring ourselves into this. This whole trip was planned to get a meeting with her.”

Wait a minute — didn’t Warren once say that she told Harvard she was part Cherokee so that she could meet others like her? Well here’s her big chance and she’s sending staffers instead?

I don’t want to hear another word about this lying Indian Hating Bird until I hear that she has been defeated by Scott Brown. When does this bat take her lumps and shut her mouth, November?

Voting for Warren for the senate is as stupid as voting for Hussein for President.

  What a disgrace this woman is! She uses the Cherokee people to advance herself and doesn’t even have the courtesy or guts to meet them face-to-face. Shame, shame, shame……even though Lizzie has zero clue what that word even means.

  So, let me get this straight. This ditzy, one-note thinker uses the Cherokee (admirable people) for extra privileges, trying also to get votes and then ….then….then She refuses to meet with them?
  
  Not only is she a one-note thinker (everyone who got rich in America should pay the rest of us because we paid for the roads/schools the rich people used —-what a ditz. She got shut up when asked: Then if the reason some of us got rich was we used the same roads and schools as the others did…WHY ISN’T EVERYONE RICH” she has no answer) so not only is she a one-note thinker but she is a COWARD/ A gutless WONDER…yeah, just what we need in Congress, another lying gutless windbag.

  It might be the Sun Spots or Solar Flares. They have a habit of taking trips to “Other Worlds” during times like this. Kind of like migrating birds or ItsJustTimmy (RIP). They just fly away, mate and try to make it back. I think the female of their species might eat them like some Spiders do. : )

The Cherokees would do well to file a lawsuit, and be as loud and in the news about it every step of the way.

  I wonder if Elizabeth Warren’s staff members carried “Indian staffs” into the meeting with different Indian flags and singing, “Hi I I I, Hi I I I” ?
  
  I wouldn’t put it past them. I still think she’s more Chinese than Cherokee. Either way…. she had to die her hair Blonde.

  She wants the advantages she thinks she deserves being a “minority” but doesn’t want to be lumped in with them because she’s still an uppity Liberal. When my aunt tried to claim her Osage (because oil rights went with them), she was told she would have to come and live on the reservation. not worth it. Be proud that you’re part Indian (as I am) but claim caucasion. Actually I’m going to start clicking OTHER and explain that I’m AMERICAN.

She will never admit to her lies,Liberals like her stick to their lies. Even in the face of absolute proof they will keep right on lying. The sorry part of it is she will probably get elected because to liberals honesty has little value in a candidate.they are happy to vote for slime.

  Ronald, you are exactly right. The reason they do this is because they know that NO ONE in the MSM will call them out, or, will even go so far as to cover for their outrageous lies. When you have the MSM watching your back, and you believe that you are above reproach you can and will say anything. Why not?

So she’s actually “Yeller” and showing so much courage at the same time. She would have been better off to face up to her false statements. My mother always said come clean quickly or it will be worse in the long run. But alas, these children in adult bodies never learned the correct lesson and continue down the road to destruction.

This is too funny. I too have family lore and stories saying that I come from a mix of French and Cherokee on my mother’s side of the family. Would I ever think to claim to be a certain percentage? No, I know the blood is there but not how much and I’d never think to try and take advantage of it in such a manner anyway.Kind of sad if you think about it.

Fauxcahontas, didn’t want to have a Pow Wow??? Maybe if the people from the Cherokee Nations invited her to a Cherokee Luncheon, then she would have gone. They could have had a sit down home cooked dinner and use some of her plagiarized recipes from her “Pow Wow chow” Recipe book, that she copied directly from a news paper, word for word. Why doesn’t she have the decency to say she made a mistake in believing her ancestral folklore, and that she is sorry and move past this? She thinks, like most liberals they can lie and get away with it, but the Cherokee are not having it… and rightfully so.

Someone so desparate to be part of the liberal in crowd growing up she had to lie. I really feel sorry for someone like that, yet I feel worse for the Cherokee nation having to indure another injustice. Ms. Warren, your family murdered Indians. The problem is you’ve took this lie & stretched it so far it’s impossible to walk it back without being perceived as a complete liar. You are Ms. Warren. A liar & a pathetic excuse. Sorry Cherokee nation for this last indignity.
