发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Cherokee Nation on Monday afternoon called out Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-
Mass.) for attempting to claim Native American heritage by releasing the
results of a DNA test.
The test, conducted by a Stanford University professor Carlos Bustamante,
showed that Warren has a Native American ancestor going back six to 10
generations ago, making her somewhere between 1/32nd and 1/1,024th American
Indian.
The Cherokee Nation in a statement said using a DNA test to claim connection
with a tribal nation is “inappropriate” and “wrong.”
“Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or
any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong,” said Cherokee
Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. “It makes a mockery out of DNA
tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal
governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and
whose heritage is proven.”
Hoskin accused Warren of “undermining tribal interests with her continued
claims of tribal heritage.”
He argued that DNA tests fail to distinguish whether a person’s ancestors
were indigenous to North or South America and noted that tribes set their
own legal requirements for citizenship.
Warren claims to have Cherokee blood. The Cherokee Nation requires a person
to have at least one ancestor listed on a federal census used to allot
Cherokee land in the early 1900s known as the Dawes Final Rolls.
Unlike other tribes, the Cherokee Nation does not require a minimum blood
quantum for citizenship.
Some advocates of Native American sovereignty argue that DNA testing is
unreliable and point out that a DNA testing company in 2017 found that a pet
Chihuahua had 20 percent indigenous ancestry. | r**********f
