When did Liz Warren stop claiming native ancestry? It was my understanding that she believed that she was Native American based on what her parents told her and she went through life believing?
I don't see how that's disimilar from dreamers who grow up thinking they're American citizens until they had to do stuff like apply for drivers licenses or college etc.
There just wasn't an obvious "check" for her to find out she had no native ancestry, like there is with citizenship for example. Or did she keep claiming she was Native American after finding out she really wasn't?
If my take is all the way wrong someone correct me, but that was my understanding of the whole Cherokee ancestry situation.
