The chief of the Cherokee nation was not amused.

In a video posted on YouTube that was shot by a state Democratic Party staffer, members of Brown's staff are seen holding campaign signs near the Erie Pub. The main person in the video has been identified as Brad Garnett, a field coordinator for the Massachusetts GOP. He is seen making tomahawk chopping motions and making whooping sounds, presumably in reference to Elizabeth Warren's claims of Cherokee heritage. Jack Richard, Brown's Constituent Service Counsel is also seen making tomahawk chop motions.

Jerry McDermott, Brown's State Director and Jennifer Franks, Special Assistant to Senator Scott Brown were also shown in the video at the rally, NewsCenter 5's Janet Wu confirmed.
