Haven't you ever considered the possibility that she meant "American Indian"? Like potatoes and peas in curry and cumin, Chapati, Phulka, Roti, Naan, and other Indian breads?
Maybe she meant that instead.
I don't think so, I've never seen Warren in s sari. At least not yet.
There is no Scandal here, super dupes. Her great-great grandmother was native American and she was proud of it and the story. The DNA test proves it.
Early life, education, family, and ancestry
Warren was born Elizabeth Ann Herring in
Oklahoma City on June 22, 1949,
[6][7][8][9] the fourth child of
middle-class parents Pauline (née Reed, 1912–1995) and Donald Jones Herring (1911–1997). Warren has described her family as teetering "on the ragged edge of the middle class" and "kind of hanging on at the edges by our fingernails".
[10][11] She had three older brothers and was raised as a
Methodist.

Warren's "A minimum-wage job saved my family" (3:28)
Warren lived in
Norman until she was 11 years old, when the family moved to Oklahoma City.
[11] When she was 12, her father, a salesman at
Montgomery Ward,
[11] had a heart attack, which led to many medical bills as well as a pay cut because he could not do his previous work.
[8] He later worked as a custodian for an apartment building.
[14] Eventually, their car was repossessed because they failed to make
loan payments. To help the family finances, her mother found work in the catalog order department at
Sears.
[8] When she was 13, Warren started waiting tables at her aunt's restaurant.
[15][16]
Warren became a star member of the debate team at
Northwest Classen High School and won the state high school debating championship. She also won a debate scholarship to
George Washington University (GWU) at the age of 16.
[8]She initially aspired to be a teacher, but left GWU after two years in 1968 to marry Jim Warren, whom she met in high school.
[15][8][17]
Warren and her husband moved to
Houston, where he was employed by
IBM.
[8][18] She enrolled in the
University of Houston and graduated in 1970 with a
Bachelor of Science degree in speech pathology and audiology.
[14][19]
The Warrens moved to
New Jersey when Jim received a job transfer. She soon became pregnant and decided to remain at home to care for their child.
