well at least she didn't call herself an 'Indian Princess'.
kinda bullshit though, so many peeps have Indigenous ancestry. being Indigenous is a culture, or rather many cultures. if you are not accepted by a community you have no claim to it. my grandmother was a 'status Indian' but she lost that when she married a white man (not my grandfather). the rules were really fucked up and still are. still our family is accepted. was actually surprised I was as I tend to be very disdainful of tradition. Metis peeps are a lot like millennials. we question everything.
most Black peeps in North America who have been here since colonization and slavery have Indigenous ancestry as well. there was a ton of intermixing and the blood quantum rules were established to turn peeps who were owed (treaties, land, etc) into property.
probably half the NA peeps here have red blood and don't know it.
ancestry and culture are different. Warren should be smart enough to understand that.
