Why are there Bernie Sanders supporters with Elizabeth Warren in the race?

106. Yeah, really

The first article you cited was written before the one I posted and is not anywhere as inclusive as the one I posted. It is an opinion piece from an activist, not comprehensive input from tribal leaders. The second is not cited as an author but from an organization, not at all representative of all Native Americans, and certainly not worthy of the the attempt you made to mean NAs as a whole. In fact, here is a statement from from that organization:
Doug George-Kanentiio, a co-founder of the Native American Journalists Association and a former trustee for the National Museum of the American Indian.
“No one bothered to contact the principal chief of Cherokee Nation to see if he agreed,” said George-Kanentiio, who is Akwesasne Mohawk."
You make the same mistake the NYT did in running with what this one official wrote (and has since been taken down from the tribe's website).

The story I posted includes input from 12 elected tribal officials, not one unelected one as the Times story did. They are representative of native peoples, not someone with an axe to grind.

Quoting one:
Richard Sneed, the principal chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, said he’s not upset at all by Warren’s DNA test. He hasn’t heard from any tribal leaders who are mad either. His tribe is different from the Cherokee Nation and is based in North Carolina.

“It’s media fodder. It’s sensationalism. That’s what it is,” he said. “All it takes is for one person to say they’re offended, and then everybody does a dog pile. But to me, it’s ‘Wait a second. Let’s get to some of the facts here.’ Sen. Warren has always been a friend to tribes. And we need all the allies we can get.”
