There is in Massachusetts a nice lady who is running for the U.S. Senate against the incumbent, Senator Scott Brown.  The nice lady's name is Elizabeth Warren.  To look at her, you would think she was the progeny of a marriage blessed by the Third Reich rather than the Cherokee bloodlines she has claimed to have.  Ms. Warren has steadfastly claimed Cherokee heritage and has used it in academic settings (I wonder why!!), and was utilizing her heritage in her campaign for the U.S. Senate.  A normal person could be excused for wondering why her bloodlines might be more important (to her at least) than how she stands on wind turbines off Martha's Vineyard.  But group identity and perceptions of victimization have proven to be very lucrative pursuits in the political circles, and the Nordic nice lady should be excused for attempting to cash in.
It is bad enough that Ms. Warren claimed Cherokee ancestry, but it is worse for her now that genealogists have uncovered the probability that the would be Senator had a great, great, great grandfather who was a member of a militia that actually rounded up the Cherokees and sent them on their way to the horrific Trail of Tears.
But let us assume for the moment that Elizabeth Warren is, in fact, Chief Tells No Lies.  The Cherokee nation declared war on the union during the Civil War.  The Cherokees fought bravely and side-by-side with the Confederates.  Speaking of Confederates, the Cherokees, like most Native American nations and tribes had their own slaves and trafficked in the business.
So a couple of questions for you, Ms. Warren:  Do you share the animus of the Cherokee Nation toward the centralizing Federal Government?  Would you shed blood in opposition to the centralizing policies of Washington, DC, as the Cherokees were willing to do?
Trivia question:  Who was the first Native American General?
Answer:  Stand Watie of the Cherokee Nation so recognized by the Confederate States of America.
