WASHINGTON - U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren on Monday apologized again for her claims in the 1980s that she is Native American, speaking to a crowd of tribal leaders in Iowa.
Warren spoke at the Native American Presidential Forum in Sioux City, Iowa, hosted by several tribes from across the country. Tribal leaders have criticized her claim, arguing that tribal membership is required for someone to describe themselves as Native American. Democrats in the crowded primary field vying for the party’s nomination to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in 2020 have been silent on Warren’s past Native American claims and her ancestry has not been an issue in the primary.
