Elizabeth Warren Claims She Has Photos Proving Native American Heritage (But ‘They’re Not For You’)

Nov. 3, 2012 7:30pm Becket Adams

Many Blaze readers are familiar with Massachusetts senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s never-ending “fauxcahontas” problem — that is, the controversy surrounding her claim to Native American heritage.

And here’s the latest in the Warren-Indian saga:

That’s it? Her supposed ancestry can be proven by photos that we’re not allowed to see?

Okay, then.

Oh, and just in case you’ve forgotten some of her past defenses/explanations for why she applied to Harvard Law and Penn as a Native American, here’s a brief recap:

6. Warren once cited a family cookbook called “Pow Wow Chow” as proof of her heritage. The book was edited by her cousins. Seriously:

Elizabeth Warren Tells Reporters She has Photos Proving Shes a Native American But Shes Not Going to Show You

Courtesy BuzzFeed

5. “My papaw had high cheekbones like all of the Indians do,” Warren once said.

4. When Republican Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown told Warren that she needed to “come clean” over her heritage claims, her team responded with the following statement:

The simple fact is that Elizabeth is proud of her heritage. Charles Fried, the former solicitor general in the Reagan administration, played a key role in her recruitment to Harvard and confirmed that her heritage was not a factor in her hiring. The fact that she listed her heritage in some professional directories more than 15 years ago does not change those facts.

3. When pushed to prove (or at the very least explain) her decision to apply to Harvard as a Native American, Warren said: “Native American has been a part of my story, I guess since the day I was born, I don’t know any other way to describe it.”

2. When asked why Harvard had listed her as a Native American, Warren replied: “I don’t know more than that.”

1. Her greatest (worst?) excuse:

I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something that might happen with people who are like I am. Nothing like that ever happened, that was clearly not the use for it and so I stopped checking it off.

However, as noted earlier by TheBlaze, Shelly Lowe, executive director of Harvard University’s Native American Program (HUNAP), claimed that Warren had not, to her knowledge, ever participated in any Native American events while she was a professor at Harvard Law.

  Lol. She doesn’t come from Native American heritage. She’s just on the long list of Americans who claim that heritage that doesn’t exist. Even her soul was never in a Native American, most likely a rat before she was human.

  Instead of “Pow Wow Chow”,
  it’s most probable that her family cookbook was originally titled “Bow Wow Chow”
  and Dizzy Lizzy took her editing, quill feather to it.
  
  This broad doesn’t know when to put a sock in it.
  
  Waiting with baited breath,
  for the story about her torrid, love triangle
  between
  the Lone Ranger & Kemosabe-
  Heave-Ho, Heigh-Ho, Dosie-Do……Freaken’ Silver !

  Well, Hey Cousin! My Indian name is Runs With Beer! Small world, eh?
  
  Actually, (For Real) I did 10 years of genealogy and discovered I am 1/4 Native American, that’s twice the blood that fauxcohontas da-faker claims, to get the freebies like she has.
  
  I don’t have pictures because, well for starters, they didn’t have cameras back then out on the plains to take photos of each other. But, I have the written proof going clear back to the time when they only had one name. Me thinks she comes from a long line of BSer Wannabees who had their pictures taken at a Pow Wow or something. My line goes back past “Princess MARY NO PEE.” Put that in your pipe and smoke it lady!!! HA! HA!
  
  Maybe she’s from the Wannabe Tribe?

  People have been screaming “liar” for months now. If this egomaniac had proof to back-up her questioned claims she would have it on the front page of the NY Times tomorrow. The Times would gladly publish it to silence Republicans. This is nothing more than a common liar’s ruse.

  It seems to have become a Democratic right of passage to have a false narrative for your own and your family history, that people believe the tales, require no actual substantiation, indeed ignore the truth when the lies are exposed, speaks volumes about the quality of the thinking and values that go into voting for these people.

  Was her ‘pawpaw’ named “Falling Rock” by any chance?
  
  I think it’s great that historians looked into her background and found that the closest she ever came to being Indian was when one of her ancestors murdered a Native American by shooting him in the back.

  I hope the people of Massachusetts have more self-pride than to vote for this hysterical woman just because she has a (D) beside her name. I think they’ve seen how awful women like PIGLOSI have been for our COUNTRY!! I hope Scott Brown has done his job and will get by her.

If she does have Native American heritage then show proof to the BIA and receive a letter of Proof Of Indian Blood. Simple as that.

  High cheek bones means nothing. I’ve got such high cheek bones that most Native American Indians tell me that I’m :denying my race”. I do have a very exotic look, with blue eyes and darker skin. But I’m German, French, English, Bohemian, Danish and Norwegian.
  
  So she can cut the crap regarding high cheek bones.

  Elizabeth Warren is all BS. To be considered a Native American in the US you must be 1/4 by blood. She is at best 1/32nd. That means at least one of your grand parents must be full blooded.

  Can you see this woman skinning buffalo, cutting meat in strips and hanging them to dry into jerky
  Going down to the river to bathe once a year?. Living in a tent? Sleeping on the ground?
  
  Not! This woman has an image, as I did as a child, about her heritage and has made a mockery of it to get her education….she’s a user. Don’t want someone like her voting on America’s future. Real Indians say: “she lies” (kinda like Joe Wilson pegged it with obama)

This is such an amazing coincidence…I was going through some old family pictures just now and I found some that definitely prove that Elizabeth Warren has no native American blood in her. Wow, with this kind of luck I should buy a lottery ticket.

I saw her in a movie with Kevin Costner where he was dancing with wolves and Warren had long dark ****. I am sure that this is proof enough of her heritage. I mean, I am talking about a movie which should have more value than some pictures……

  RJJ You’ve a very good point. Warren might be the dog who was “first time” for the other lib dog that recently equated “doing it” to voting for O the first time. The nice thing about being a lib is that they get to “do it” multiple times in one day as they are bussed to vote at as many precincts as possible for each election.
