[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 3230382, member: 12952"] [URL="http://www.bizpacreview.com/2017/12/01/think-progress-stuns-democrats-op-ed-cherokee-woman-elizabeth-warren-not-570060"]Think Progress stuns Democrats with op-ed: 'I Am a Cherokee Woman, Elizabeth Warren Is Not'[/URL] Rebecca Nagle, a bona fide Cherokee Nation citizen and a self-described “two spirit (queer) woman,” just wrote a piece for the liberal website Think Progress that is bound to stun Democrats set on defending Sen. Elizabeth Warren. “She was not a hero to me when she failed to foster a haven of support for Native students within Harvard University’s alienating Ivy League culture,” Nagle writes. “She is not a hero for spending years awkwardly avoiding Native leaders. She is not a hero because, despite claiming to be the only Native woman in the U.S. Senate, she has done nothing to advance our rights.” “She is not from us. She does not represent us. She is not Cherokee.” Ironically, despite Warren’s claims of Native American heritage, “she has decidedly avoided talking with Native leaders and, in 2012, refused to meet with a group of Cherokee women at the Democratic National Convention.” [/QUOTE]
