Elizabeth Warren Listed Race as “American Indian” on Bar Registration Form

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren listed her race as "American Indian" on a State Bar of Texas registration card in 1986. This is one of the most damning instance of Warren claiming her race as Native-American. It's the first document that appears to definitively show Warren making the claim in her own handwriting. Warren has previously declined to answer whether she or an assistant filled out forms in which her race was listed as Native-American.

Warren's longstanding assertions of having Native-American heritage have dogged her political career. Her use of DNA testing to confirm her minuscule Native-American roots in year 2018 was met with universal derision from Native-American groups. The results of the genetic test showed she has only a small amount of Native-American DNA. The report concluded there is evidence she had a Native-American ancestor approximately six to ten generations ago. In the end, the results of the DNA testing showed that she has no more Native-American DNA than many other American Caucasians.

This is not the only instance where questions have been raised about Senator Warren’s claims about her race. She was also described as Harvard Law School’s first female professor of color in a Fordham Law Review article from 1997!
