[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today the Cherokee Nations is more than 355,000 citizens strong, young and old. To be eligible for Cherokee Nation citizenship, individuals must provide documents connecting them to an enrolled direct ancestor who is listed on the Dawes Roll. CDIB/Tribal Citizenship is traced through natural parents. In cases of adoption, CDIB/Citizenship must be proven through a biological parent to an ancestor registered on the Dawes Roll.

That's for claiming membership in the tribe. Not ancestry or descent. These are very different things. For example, many people discover that they have Jewish ancestry through genetic testing. They might not be able marry in a synagogue, or study to be a rabbi, or be buried in a Jewish cemetery - unless they formally convert. But I don't get to tell them that they can't claim to be of Jewish descent. [/quote]

Except Warren has claimed to BE Native American.[/quote] And she IS Native American. [/quote]

Oh, honey.  That's like me (a white person) claiming to be Chinese because I have 0.000001% Chinese in my DNA.  Give it up.[/quote]
