On the second day of the Democratic Convention, Joe Biden’s presidential rival, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has had to flip flop on her Native American heritage, and even apologized when she kicked off her presidential campaign, addressed the Democratic Native American Caucus.
Before she took the stage, the chat room for the DNC remote-video event warned viewers to not criticize Warren over her heritage.
Warren pledged to the Native American Caucus that a Biden administration will “listen” to them and they will have a voice in a Biden White House. . . .
The 2020 Democratic Platform lays out those numerous promises.
“Democrats are committed to honoring, upholding, and strengthening the United States’ trust obligations to Tribal Nations and communities, as enshrined in the Constitution, treaties, federal statutes, and case law,” reads the platform.
“Democrats recognize and support the sovereignty of Tribal Nations and pledge to work on a nation-to-nation basis to empower Indigenous peoples, increase economic development in Tribal Nations, and protect Tribal lands, assets, resources, and treaty rights.”
Warren argued that the Trump administration challenged the promises made to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. And she vowed Biden would honor is stated platform that says, “We honor and support the great Indigenous traditions all across the country. We stand with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and all Tribal Nations in rejecting the Trump administration’s efforts to remove land that had been put into trust by the Obama-Biden Administration.”
Warren was joined by the only two Native American women serving in the House – Democrat Deborah Haaland, of Minnesota, and Sharice Davids, of Kansas, both of whom Warren praised for their efforts on behalf of Native Americans. . . .
Haaland served as Warren’s 2020 presidential campaign co-chairperson.
Warren called out the Trump administration for what she considers “failing” Native Americans.
Some tribal leaders in the caucus accused the administration of bulldozing their sacred burial site on the U.S. southern border to build the border wall.
New Jersey Democratic Sen. Corey Booker and California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris joined the caucus. Each ran against Biden in the 2020 party presidential primary, and Harris is now Biden’s presumptive vice-presidential candidate. . . .
All elected officials encouraged an “Indian Country” grassroots support for the Biden-Harris ticket.
Congresswomen Haaland noted the “land acknowledgement” section of their platform, calling it the “most progressive” and saying she voted for the platform.
Haaland promised the Native American caucus that under a Biden it would see relief from COVID-19, noting that their community has been hit especially hard while reminding them that “Obama was heartfelt with Indian history and culture.”
Davids told the audience that Biden will “re-establish the Tribal Nation Conference and restore decency to the White House” calling this election “the most consequential for long overdue systemic racism and a conversation on justice and injustice.”
Late in the program, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) claimed Trump had “deep rooted hate for Native Americans.”

I think it would be great if Native Americans get more attention and help. I don’t know about the sacred lands being violated by the building of the border wall. I would bet that’s a stretch and unlikely. They will do anything to blame Trump for EVERYTHING.
Thank you for trying to keep an even hand in your reporting. I am neither democrat nor republican. All need our prayers. Let’s keep our focus on how Jesus would want us to interact with the un-Godly.
This blond haired, blue eyed lady lost me when she claimed Native American heritage.
Recently, other people have gone to jail for the false claims they made to get their children into college!
As a failed presidential candidate, she is fighting to remain viable part of the Democratic evil. Let us pray that she will walk out of the darkness and into the light. She could be, a powerful voice for God, if she chooses. But so far her life has been to lie to get ahead.
Viewers were warned not to criticize Warren for her heritage? It has to be discouraging when your own party makes questionable comments about what you are endorsing. Then have someone end with Trump hates Indians.
So we continue to pray for those who are deceived. Truth must prevail.
One could not make this up!
Praying that blanket statements “…President Trump has a deep rooted hate for Native Americans” would be probed and delved into for truth. Lord, help us to be good listeners and ask good questions. We praise You that You are Light and darkness cannot stand against You.
