Elizabeth Warren has made more aggressive moves to quash the lingering controversy around her past claims of Native American ancestry. But some vocal critics in the Native American community are not yet satisfied.

“Now, before I go any further in this, I want to say this: Like anyone who's been honest with themselves, I know that I have made mistakes,” Warren said at the outset of her appearance last week. “I am sorry for harm I have caused. I have listened, and I have learned a lot. And I am grateful for the many conversations that we've had together.”by the audience and by native leaders onstage before they redirected the conversation to her policy positions.

A Warren spokeswoman wrote to POLITICO that the senator is committed to protecting tribal sovereignty and upholding the federal trust responsibility with tribal nations. Warren, she added, has worked closely with Indian Country on issues like housing, the opioid epidemic, and the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women.

For still-wary community members, Warren’s recent policy reveal did make some waves. She became the first candidate to call for an “Oliphant fix,” which would subject nonnatives By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Europeans took their country, America... so they’re upset about , Elizabeth Warren Native America DNA, story ........ go girl .... pocahontas

They want their 15 minutes of importance to last..Milking it for their own reasons

Bullshit scare tactics.

Would they rather have trump? VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!

What the “Native American community” thinks is not relevant. Warren is not Native American, that’s established. What do voters think about Warren lying about her ancestry and exploiting this lie for advancement on false premises?

If only she’d send some emails about this from a personal server- then you dolts at Politico would be in freaking heaven.

she said it....she has to own it.....

Are you going to keep hammering away at this non-issue? Trump claims his father was born in Germany.

Oh Politico. Stop.

Jeebus.. How many of these articles will you publish about how this continues to get press?

Now that's fake news Politico, they have moved on!

She should just let that go .

A BIG problem that has not abated.

are you serious with this? it’s the third article today alone.

Native or not!!!!......does not matter!, she would make a proper Madam President,... we all lost out last time we had a female on top of a ticket....and we are paying dearly! and keep in mind, she would be president..not,Queen!. unlike the 'King' we have now....

Another bullshit story from Politico. I’ve been willing to give them a pass for the last few months but their reporting is redundant and picky. You differently sound more like republicans than journalists. Not paying attention to you anymore. Nor will I be reading your articles

Oh shut up about this. The Prez was found out to have Russian oligarchs as co-signers on his loans and this is what you focus on?

Can we not just get over this.

Well. It’s out there. And she’s still here.

It's impossible to satisfy everyone, I'm from a tribe and we have folks who would love Sanders or Warren, myself included, and even a few dumbasses who supported Trump last time. Natives aren't a monolith.

Please explain for me how this has become a major issue

Buh bye Pocahontas WomenForTrump Trump2020LandslideVictory LeadRight KAG

Must be Trump fans. My Grandmother was raised on the reservation we were always told we were NA when my daughter took a DNA test not a drop of NA blood showed so forgive me if I do not take those test seriously.

Then they can vote for Trump if she gets the nomination !

For God’s sake let it go

I hate you, Politico.

A very minor issue, especially compared to Trump's falsehoods, but MSM will keep the narrative going while they let climate change fall under the radar.

Ridiculous. My parents told me about my ancestry. I was 100% sure of my ethnicity. Then I took a DNA Test. Found out my parents were not 100% correct. Shit happens. Oh...and I’m part Italian and Greek.

At this point, one has to ask... is the Native American community going to help her take Florida or Pennslyvania? If the answer is no, she should move on because she’s just giving ammo to cynical GOP Trump sycophants

Tell them to suck it up

My response.....then vote for trump.....and see how that benefits you!. Just stop with this! The country and world are being destroyed!

Can you just for this election cycle pretend to be journalists

I wonder why it's lingering.

And yet we have a president who brags about grabbing women by the puddy tat, tells lies at the speed of light and we’re outraged over this?

Oh but just wait for the realDonaldTrump DEBATE! Off the reservation is a term I’m sure will be used! So get ready

(sigh) What, they want her scalp? (smh)

JFC. She would be running against the (documented) most prolific liar in history. Stop it.

Politico editor: how is Warren with Native Americans now? Reporter: Really we’ll, in fact… Editor: is there at least ONE Indian still upset? Report: yeah, maybe, like one… Editor: ok, write “not all are satisfied”. Reporter: ok, but… Editor: and call it an apology tour!

Time to send up the smoke signals Pocahontas!

My issue with this is she knowingly enabled Harvard to avoid employing a genuine Native American to fulfill a diversity requirement by claiming that ancestry. She may not have got the job as a result of it, but certainly, someone else deserving DIDN'T get a job because of it.

Yes they are...what are they going to do? Vote for Trump or get a seat at the table? Easy decision.

“Some vocal critics”? Move on Politico. It’s long over. There is plenty more substance of EW to cover
