12. I support her desire to embrace a minority heritage

instead of running away from it as is the usual case.

As for the women from Oklahoma who wanted to meet with her - I read weeks ago that they were paid operatives. And, I am sure the Native Americans who are 30% of the Oklahoma delegation and who want to meet with her want to provide support and encouragement for Warren, not confront her.

Just this week I spent several days trying to find some personal ancestry information in the Oklahoma records, specifically Cherokee. The Native American records, before and after Oklahoma became a state, are totally useless.
