washington - The American senator Elizabeth Warren has apologized for undergoing a DNA test to prove that she is descended from the original inhabitants of the United States...

Warren had her DNA tested last year after being challenged by President Donald Trump. He called the senator mocking 'Pocahontas' because he questioned her claim that she had Indian ancestors. The DNA test was criticized by indigenous tribes and party members, because Warren would ignore the cultural identity of the Indians. In the end it turned out Warren had only one distant ancestor of Indian origin.
