There is at least one tribe willing to accept Elizabeth Warren as a member

Sen. Elizabeth Warren's claims of Native American ancestry and tribal affiliation will likely follow her for the entirety of her presidential campaign. But, there is at least one "tribe" that's willing to accept her, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

It's not a tribe many people are familiar with, and it's made up of members who have been rejected from other tribes for not meeting minimum requirements.

The Una Nation in Oregon is a "mixed-blood" tribe that has officially invited Warren to join.

"If she's Native American, or of Native American descent, that means she's a mixed-blood, and we stand by her and her statement that she is part-Native American," said Richard B. Lake, the 29-year-old leader of the tribe.

The Una Nation bills itself as the "only specifically Indigenous American Mixed-Blood internationally and domestically recognized, fourth largest tribal nation in the United States."

The group offers membership to those who have been "shunned away for being less than someone with a higher Indigenous blood-quantum."

The group offers membership to those who have been "shunned away for being less than someone with a higher Indigenous blood-quantum."


"We're granting her, as a gift, enrollment in the Una Nation," said Lake, who also goes by King Richard II Ziwahatan. "When she's asked next if she's a member of the tribe, hopefully she'll be able to say proudly she's a member of the Una Nation, who accept me for who I am."

After publicizing the results of a DNA test showing she was somewhere between 1/64 and 1/1024 Native American to prove President Donald Trump wrong, Warren apologized to Native Americans, including the Cherokee tribe, for her claims, which she has said were based on her "understanding from my family's stories."

Trump has long mocked Warren's claim's of Native American heritage by calling her "Pocahontas."

It is interesting that Trump attacks Warren for simply repeating what she was told by family; I don’t know about you but I never realy questioned what my family told me about our families linage. While the Pumpkinfuhrer has insulted Warren repeatedly for an honest mistake he knowingly and deliberately claimed to be Swiss when he knew he is of German ancestry, to what end who knows? The man seems compelled to lie even when the truth would do.

The new tribe is called the “Washington Red faces” which is open to all Democrats who have made an A$$ of themselves. They also have a “big tent” and all Democrats who meet the basic criteria are welcome. Since all Dems have met the criteria , they too can crawl into the tent!

This may be offensive to some but I believe that even one drop of Native blood makes you a decendant. You are what you are. I am some where between 1/8 and 1/4 native but not enough to make blood quantum. I am still a descendant and that shall remain as the truth.

I'm Swiss too, it's where my money is.

Bingo Proud. I'm told that I am probably 1/8 Cherokee. I have never pursued finding out BUT if I were to try and use that supposed heritage to my advantage, I sure as hell would find out ... unlike EWwwwww. She is either stupid (duh) or evil (duh duh).

I wonder if that Oregon"tribe" gives out money. We should all join for the bennies.
