Elizabeth Warren’s DNA match is to Latin Americans, not Native Americans

The genetics researcher who reviewed Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s, D-Mass., DNA in an attempt to counter President Trump’s “Pocahontas” jibes compared her samples with those from people in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru rather than Native Americans in the U.S.

Warren’s DNA was reviewed at her request by Carlos Bustamante, a Stanford University genetics researcher, who compared it to reference samples and reported that he had found a Native American ancestor “approximately 8 generations” ago.
