I don’t believe they still take scalps but one certified Cherokee, Twila Barnes, has figuratively scalped Fauxasquawa, a/k/a Lying Lizzie, b/k/a Elizabeth Warren, via William E. Jacobson, Legal Insurrection [1]:
I am writing this letter in the hope it will help end the current situation you have found yourself in. It seems you are being ripped apart in the media because of your claim of Cherokee ancestry and you don’t like it. According to a recent article in the Boston Globe, you believe your opponent is “creating a distraction” by “ridiculously” attacking you “with questions that have already been answered.” It seems you would like the “attacks” against your claims of Cherokee ancestry to stop so I thought I would offer some advice on how to make it stop.
Tell the truth….
While you cling to a family story and the inaccurate report that ONE document was found that supports your claim, we real Cherokees understand that those things mean nothing. You see, we Cherokees have lots and lots and lots of documentation supporting our claims of our ancestry. Our Cherokee ancestors are found on every roll of the Cherokee Nation (30+ rolls!) dating back to before the removal and in all sorts of other documentation, including but not limited to claims against the US government for lost property; the Moravian missionary records; ration lists before and after the forced removal, etc…yet your ancestors are found in NONE of those records.
I don’t think too many Oklahoma Cherokee Indians are registered to vote in Massachusetts any how, but don’t suggest that Fauxasquawa travel to Oklahoma any time in the near future.
Irenic, that the supposed beneficiaries of Harvard’s supposed affirmative action, are raising the loudest objections. The if Fauxasquawa was attempting to steal your heritage, you would be mad as well.
