Elizabeth Warren Apologizes To Cherokee Nation For Taking DNA Test Showing She Was As Little As 1/1024th Native American

In October, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) released a DNA test that showed she is as little as 1/1,024 Native American in an attempt to prove that she has Native American ancestry. Now, she is apologizing to the Cherokee Nation for having done so.

The New York Times reports that Cherokee Nation spokeswoman Julie Hubbard said Warren had a “brief and private” call with Bill John Baker, the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation.
