Democratic presidential hopeful and firebrand Senator Elizabeth Warren apologized to the Cherokee Nation this week; admitting she was wrong to publicly release her DNA test results to prove she had Native American ancestry.
“Senator Warren has reached out to us and has apologized to the tribe. We are encouraged by this dialogue and understanding that being a Cherokee Nation tribal citizen is rooted in centuries of culture and laws, not through DNA tests,” Cherokee Nation spokeswoman Julie Hubbard said in a statement.
“We are encouraged by her action and hope that the slurs and mockery of tribal citizens and Indian history and heritage will now come to an end,” Hubbard added.
Warren found herself in hot-water from Republicans and Democrats after she released the results last year; showing she was between 1/64 and 1/1024 Native American.
