Can't Support An Elizabeth Warren Presidency While She Appropriates Cherokee Identity

A very complete detailing here by Rebecca Nagle (Cherokee) of WHY cultural appropriating Sen.  Elizabeth Warren shouldn't have Native American support for her Presidential run.

Some reports say that Warren is 1/32 Native American through her great-great-great-grandmother, who was described as Cherokee on her marriage license application. But the original application and marriage license have never been found to corroborate this story told in Warren’s family.
