I think many are missing the point behind the brouhaha surrounding Elizabeth Warren’s Native American heritage (“Warren’s extended family split about heritage,” Page A1, Sept. 23). I am confident that she believes she is whatever percent Native American she was told, and most likely it is true. The issues for me are the following:
She hasn’t been forthcoming about releasing documents from the universities where she listed herself as a minority.

I agree with the writer's points. I was disturbed by Warren's refusal to speak with representatives of Native peoples at the DNC and here in Boston earlier in the year. If she is proud of that part of her heritage why didn't she show respect to those representing that culture? I guess it wasn't politically expedient?
