Elizabeth Warren has created a conundrum for herself. She's running for the US Senate from the state of Massachusetts. A number of years ago she wanted to be on the staff at Harvard so her resume' was slightly embellished to the point that she told the powers to be that she was a Native American Indian. It turns out she's one thirty-second of this dating back to a great, or maybe great-great grandmother. I.e. she lied to get a job. My son owns a business and asked me if I could check into the lineage of my mom to see if we were buffalo hunters. If this were the case he could get a minority break of some kind for his company. "Hey, if some senator wannabe can get away with it why not us"? The story is that my mom was adopted and we don't know much about her mother or dad. But if you took a look at MJ Hawkeye, age, 66, I could pass for Tonto. I have cheekbones so high they're above my eyebrows. My hair has to be thinned with a lawnmower. I could live to be older than Methuselah and I'd never go bald. Some guys wear caps when it gets cold. I wear my hair. I have a chest so big it should have staves around it. My complexion so dark I tan in January. I'm the kind of guy who could run around shouting, "Whoo-whoo-whoo and get away with it".
Elizabeth Warren is a phony. Even the overly liberal Boston Globe has come down against her. It serves her right for being a faux Indian unlike MJ Hawkeye who just might be the real deal.
Speaking to a reporter on a local news station in Boston, Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts cited her ancestor's "high cheekbones" (quoting an aunt) as evidence of her Native American heritage:
Earlier today, the Harvard law professor explained that she listed herself as "Native American" on school directories in the past so she could meet others "who are like I am." Genealogists have been unable to verify that Warren is descended from Native Americans, despite her claims.
