Elizabeth Warren’s family has mixed memories about heritage - News - Boston.comGenealogist at the New England Historic Genealogical Society Chris Child set out to hunt down Warrens ancestry last Thursday. In less than a week, he discovered documents citing an 1894 marriage record that lists Warrens great-great-great grandmother, O. C. Sarah Smith as Cherokee, meaning that Warren is 1/32nd Native American.
Elizabeth Warrens Cherokee Heritage Raises Questions - ABC News
She never said "how much". But it turns out she was right after all. Without that 1/32nd, she wouldn't be here.
Yeah, I'm sure they always talked about that 1/32nd, huhMonths after the political flare-up, Warren and some of her family members remain unwilling to provide details on the subject. In a lengthy interview, Warren referred to stories about her roots that she says were frequently told at family gatherings in her native Oklahoma, but declined to share virtually any of them. I knew it was part of our family, Warren said. It was part of what we talked about. . . . It was just part of who we were.
Warrens family, including cousin Mapes, have no documentation of Native American affiliation, nor is there evidence that they are listed on any official tribal roll.
Now, Elizabeth Warren just said they talked frequently about their native American heritage, but her brother says they didn't. Hmmmmm......David Herring of Norman, Okla., one of Warrens three brothers, said in an interview that even when he was a child his relatives were reluctant to talk about the familys Native American heritage because it was not popular in my family.
Now, suddenly they did talk about it a lot growing up. WTF????We grew up listening to our mother and grandmother and other relatives talk about our familys Cherokee and Delaware heritage.
The whole Warren family can't even get their story straight on this.
