Is Senator Warren Really a Cherokee?

Hits on Ancestry Claim Angered Elizabeth Warren - Bostonherald.com

Excerpt from this article:

"The Herald first reported that Indian tribes had no record of membership by Warren, and that genealogists were unable to confirm any Native American heritage. It later emerged that Warren had listed herself as a minority in the nation’s leading directory of law professors for a period of a decade as she moved up in academia, and she was ultimately cited by Harvard University as a minority hire.
Efforts to reach a Warren spokeswoman yesterday were unsuccessful."
