  • What Elizabeth Warren has done is an act of colonization. She has usurped Indigenous identity, just as her ancestors stole the land and resources. It's a hostile act of genocide and it is not okay.

  • The definition for American Indian: American Indian or Alaska Native (Not Hispanic or Latino) - A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment.
  • She, along with her supporters, want to redefine who is entitled to claim the status of Native American, even if a person has no proof of American Indian ancestry.  This is an anti-sovereignty stance and this way of thinking is a danger to our sovereignty.
  • While she claims being Native American played such an important part in the lives of her and her family, they seem to have never had any association with real Indians.

    I hope my readers take the time to visit this site and become informed about the various "Indian Rights" issues involved in this year's Massachusetts Senate Race. We must all speak out against Ms. Warren even if we do not live in her state. If she gets elected her "I am an Indian" virus will very likely infect our highest level of government. It really is time to stop people from using the "minority" card when they have no right to claim it.
