Keller @ Large: Why
Warren Shouldn't Run For President
CBS Local
White-boy Jon Keller
blew-it
Native American
tribes had no record of membership by Warren, and genealogists were unable to
confirm any Native American heritage.
As with more then
3/4 of the country
Mr. Keller did not
put his brain in gear before he opened his mouth on Elizabeth Warren's tribal
statement!
First,
I do agree with the rest of his article on why
she should not run this time around.
Now to the real
facts on the subject.
I have traveled
Indian Country many times since my first trip at age six and have met thousands
of people calling themselves
"Cherokee
Indian"
Most could not show proof however, it was, for
the most part, accepted.
Hundreds of
Thousands of
" Indians"
State that one or more of their ancestors was
a
"Princess"?
No one until now has
ever disputed these hundreds of thousands of claim!
Until now!
In point of fact if
their great, great, great, grandmother/grandfather made this clam back in the
1700/1800 hundreds, how could they or I disprove this and why would we wish to?
Warren has received
a great deal of criticism since the story first emerged, in large part because
no documentation has been found to back up Warren’s claim that she is indeed of
Native American ancestry.
No documentation can
be found on
"Millions of
true Native American"!
Because the first
few years of in-door cremation of loved one these cremations were being done in
'Wooden Buildings' and many burnt to the ground along with all records!
At least in the New
England Area.
Warren’s
great-great-great grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, was referenced as Cherokee
Indian on her son William Crawford’s 1894 marriage license application, a 2006
family newsletter showed.
The document itself
was not an actual marriage license, and it has not been located, according to
genealogists at the New England Historic Genealogical Society.
SO WHAT, WHAT'S THE
BIG DEAL?
Warren also
addressed the questions surrounding the lack of documentation in her statement.
“Growing up, my
mother and my grandparents and my aunts and uncles often talked about our
family’s Native American heritage,
as a kid, I never
thought to ask them for documentation- what kid would"?
"But that
doesn’t change the fact that it is a part of who I am and part of my family
heritage” she said.
In other words, she
did not call her ancestors Liars, who would?
