Report: Original document proving Elizabeth Warren’s Cherokee ancestry doesn’t exist? Update: 1999 Harvard report lists one female Native American faculty member

The slender thread upon which Elizabeth Warren’s claim that she is 1/32 Cherokee rests—a purported 1894 marriage license application—has been exposed as non-existent. Based on a review of the original marriage records found in the files of the Logan County, Oklahoma Court Clerk’s office in Guthrie, Oklahoma, and the statements of ReJeania Zmek, the Court Clerk of Logan County, Oklahoma, it is likely that the ephemeral 1894 marriage license application never existed.

“In modern times we keep marriage license applications,” she said. “The way they’re issued now, you do the application, then you do the license. We currently do keep records of marriage license applications,” she said, explaining that this practice didn’t begin until around 1950.

When asked specifically if marriage license application documents were created in Logan County in 1894, she said she is almost certain they were not. She added that, when looking at the records of marriages in Logan County, Oklahoma in the 1890s, “if there’s a license and then a certificate I would think the license would be the application as well. That would be my thought. I’m thinking they came in, got a license, got married.”



The New England Historic Genealogical Society provided CNN with initial research showing several members of Warren’s maternal family claiming Cherokee heritage. The Native American link extends to Warren’s great-great-great grandmother O.C. Sarah Smith, who is said to be described as Cherokee in an 1894 marriage license application. NEHGS gathered that information through a 2006 family newsletter, and says the original application cannot be located.





A newly revealed document taken from a 1999 Affirmative Action Plan Book published by Harvard University indicates that Elizabeth Warren was officially listed as a Native American by Harvard Law School. Though Warren is not mentioned by name, the report shows just one Native American member of the law school. Reports in the Harvard Crimson from 1996 and 1998 both identify Warren as the Native American member of the staff…

Warren has said that she was not aware Harvard was using her minority status to publicly deflect criticism over the school’s hiring practices. However, the fact that she was officially recognized as a Native American by the school raises the question of how they first obtained the information which led them to classify her as one.

No problem, a little DNA analysis can remove all doubt.

These people are having a hard time coming to the realization that they can't out run the internet. It's like most slime ball politicians are still living in the nineties when everything they say can't be back checked, invalidated, and spread to every blog on the planet within minutes. If you can't even understand this simple concept then you shouldn't be running a nation.

A simple test for Fauxcahantas:

Does she love all the animals in the woods?

Maybe she got confused and the story the familiy told her is that she is a descendant of Thomas Jefferson.

Elizabeth Warren = Typical Liberal/Socialist using race for gain or advantage... then again, Scott Brown voting Liberal/Socialist for his gain to say in the US Senate. With the exception of a very few, American politicians are disgusting.

At least they can trace her ancestry and I will even bet she can produce a legitimate long form.

we new englanders if we have ancestors who got there before the year 1700 have a high probability of having a native american ancestor.
the further back in time you go, the more ancestors to look at. the records start to get sketchy in the colonial era. she may have been very
sincere and was acting upon a family story and some research but harvard was shameless and brazen to tout her as a proof positive for their
diversity. i think harvard wanted an excuse to look less snob*zoned and she unwittingly played into their quest to look more with it and hepcat.

I don't live in Massachusetts, but she is the only person I can think if that would get me to vote for Brown.

That should get you president of Harvard. Or at least a CIA bureau chief position.

What is the problem here? That she isn't provably part-Native American? That she got advancement based on race? Or that she got advancement based on race, when she didn't have good enough proof?

To me, the problem is seeking advancement based on race. But no one seems bothered about Ted Cruz doing that, so maybe I'm missing something. Is everyone else ok with seeking advancement based on race, as long as the race part is provable?

harvard gets inundated with people for each seat and position they have.
she opened a can of worms. when two people are almost evenhandedly
qualified, they are supposed to go with the minority person so as to have
a diversity. we are debating fractions with a vigor like a late 1800s racist
trying to explan the one drop rule by twos. 1/8th - 1/16th - 1/32nd - 1/64th -1/128th
if she got an edge over an equally qualified female WASP but the law was
intended to give someone who is reservation born an edge despite the lousy
schools, this is a double whammy due to the ethnicity she may have actually.

I don't claim to be a historian or authority on the subject but it appears that the Indians really got screwed. We came here to a place where they lived and pretty much destroyed their liberty and wiped them out. If anyone deserves retribution it is the American Indian. I consider them the ancestors of the libertarian. Do they deserve entitlements or special treatment? Probably not but do they deserve to be compensated for their loss of land, freedom, and the civil injustice? Maybe there should be a one time civil settlement that attributes a monetary lump sum settlement to every American Indian and deed them title to some huge parcel of prime National Land that would then become the "Indian Nation" and would be outside of the law of the US government and then let them make their own way after that. Not saying that would work just saying they got screwed.
