Native Americans: Funny, When We Invited the Alleged Indian Elizabeth Warren to Our Meetings, She Didn't Even Reply

When Indians killed the buffalo, they used the entire carcass -- nothing went to waste.

When Elizabeth Warren shoots a buffalo, she just cuts off an ear and pins it to her CV.

Sen. ["Sitting Bullshit"] Elizabeth Warren (D. Mass.) was invited at least three times to speak with Native American students at Harvard Law School while she was a faculty member, but she never accepted, according to a former president of a Native American student group.

Dr. Gavin Clarkson, a citizen of the Choctaw Nation who received both a doctorate and a law degree from Harvard while Warren was a professor, says he "personally invited" her three times to visit with Harvard's Native American Law Student Association (NALSA), which he headed while attaining his dual degree. Warren, who had identified as a minority in law professor directories and was touted by Harvard as a Native American hire, never accepted his invites.

Maybe she was expecting the invitations to come by way of smoke-signals or blaze-codes carved into trees -- she just knows nothing of the White Man and his "Paper Messages."

"I was on campus at Harvard for five years, from 1998 to 2003," Clarkson said. "Warren was identified in the AALS law teacher directory as an American Indian faculty member."

She was busy -- she was also in charge of plotting ways to stop the Steel Mustangs from crossing their lands on their iron tracks.

"Hi, we're the Native American students on campus and it would be nice to meet the only Native American professor on the faculty," was the message Clarkson was attempting to get across, but he says he was dismissed by Warren every time.

"I personally invited Elizabeth Warren, face to face, three separate times," Clarkson said.

"I did it at least once per year for three straight years," he said. "She basically dismissed me all three times."

Her eyes were e'er fixed on the horizon, scanning for sign of buffalo or Apache raiders or an opening as a dean at another Ivy League school.

Warren's office did not respond to requests for comment on her interaction with NALSA while at Harvard.

She did, however, release a complex tribal dance. Apparently the answer is "Four more days of dry, then the Mighty Thunderbird summons the rains."
