In a letter signed by 200 Native Americans, the senator is asked to make a public statement addressing her native heritage claims.
The 200 signees call on Warren to make a public statement that includes the stipulations outlined in the letter. Warren's statement should also make clear that she and her ancestors are white and that the"family story of Cherokee and Delaware ancestry is false and it was wrong for [Warren] to repeat it as an adult," the letter said.
Additionally, Warren's statement should"clearly state that Native people are the sole authority on who is—and who is not—Native."Warren issued a 12-page response to the letter in which she stated,"I am not a person of color; I am a white woman, and that is how I identify." Warren thanked the Cherokee Nation and other native groups for writing the letter and included her campaign policies to specifically help native peoples. She concluded her letter by saying she was"grateful" that they were holding her accountable.
