This is regarding the E. Warren claims of American Indian heritage - I am of American Indian Heritage and was (now retired) a business owner who frequently bid on gov't contracts - to be able to claim a minority status in those bid I had to prove the background. It entailed a detailed collection of family records going back 4 generation and appearing at a panel of Tribal Elders to prove my case. I am a card carrying member of the Ojoubiawa (sp) tribe. Maybe Warren shoud try proving it..
