This makes two universities that touted her as a Cherokee, despite the fact that her ancestors were on the round-up side of the Trail of Tears. Not the Cherokee People side.
A second law school, the University of Pennsylvania, has touted Elizabeth Warren as a minority faculty member in an official school publication, according to an online document obtained by the Globe.
The University of Pennsylvania, where Warren taught at the law school from 1987 through 1995, listed her as a minority in a “Minority Equity Report” posted on its website. The report, published in 2005, well after her departure, included her as the winner of a faculty award in 1994. Her name was highlighted in bold, the designation used for minorities in the report.
A spokesman for the law school did not immediately return a phone message today.
The reference offers another piece of evidence that Warren was identified as a Native American as part of her professional career. Warren has said she was unaware that Harvard University, her current employer, had described her as a Native American when it was under fire for a lack of diversity on its law school faculty.
Once could be a mistake. Twice, that’s a career strategy.
In related news, the Warren campaign has released a new web ad.
The campaign also announced that it has enlisted Ward Churchill as a spokesman.
I might have made both of those last things up.
“Once could be a mistake. Twice, that’s a career strategy.”
I always thought that was “once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action”, or something like that. No matter; at the rate things are happening I suspect there are a few more shoes to drop on Sacajalaiah before Election Day.
Then she is enemy: she asserted her Cherokee “heritage” when she filed to run for Scott Brown’s seat.
Warren so abhorred her forebears’ actions that she decided to live in the victims’ shoe to atone for her forebears’ sins.
Warren was body-snatched by a Cherokee shaman, now she believes she is a Cherokee.
Warren was traumatized by great-great-great-grand papa’s actions that she rebelled against him by declaring herself a Cherokee.
Maybe the Stockholm Syndrome works both ways, and Elizabeth Warren’s ancestors really, really, really started to identify with their Cherokee captives.
Hey, it’s better than the drivel she’s coming up with.
She’s a fraud, what a shame she’s just now getting vetted. Who’s social justice is this?
She’s a fraud, but now is the best time to vet her, unless you’re a Dem. If she was vetted in the primary, someone else would be on the Dem ticket.
Don’t forget Mass returned Edward Kennedy, a homicide killer; Kerry, a tax dodger; and Barney Franks, a gay-brothel land lord to Congress over and over again. The fraudster may yet win in November.
I wonder if I am related to this Elizabeth Warren. There is an “Elizabeth Warren” among my ancestors (her father came on the Mayflower)but I had no relatives in the south at the time of the Trail of Tears.
Paul – do you have high cheekbones?
I’m surprised that I haven’t seen this song linked with the Elizabeth Warren Fauxcahontas story.

About 15 years ago I was walking across campus with a student discussing a paper she had submitted. During our walk she mentioned she had been invited to apply for a rather tasty internship by some federal agency. She was a good student but not stellar so I asked her to account for this invitation. She though it was because of her Indian heritage.
Noting her golden tresses, peaches-and-cream complexion and vivid blue eyes I remarked that she didn’t look Indian. She produced a card issued by the Taliquah Agency under the authority of the BIA certifying that she was 3/127th Cherokee. (An odd fraction, but that’s the way I remember it.)
Squatting Squaw.
Is it possible that if Warren’s political days are over she will get into casino management?
