PRESS RELEASE: Navajo Nation reply to Donald Trump's speech
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTION OF NATIVE AMERICAN CODE TALKERS IS INVALUABLE, CULTURAL INSENSITIVITY IS UNFORTUNATE

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, during an event at the White House honoring Native American Code Talkers, President Donald Trump made reference to Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”

“First and foremost, we appreciate the honor and recognition that has been bestowed upon the Navajo Code Talkers, who truly are National Treasures and protectors of freedom,” Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye said.

The reference to Sen. Warren as “Pocahontas” is a part of an ongoing feud between the senator and President Trump over statements Warren had made to have Native American heritage during her Senate campaign.

“In this day and age, all tribal nations still battle insensitive references to our people. The prejudice that Native American people face is an unfortunate historical legacy,” President Begaye said. “As Native Americans, we are proud people who have taken care of this land long before there was the United States of America and we will continue to fight for this Nation.”

President Begaye said the Navajo Nation does not want to engage in this dialogue between Sen. Warren and President Trump.

The purpose of the day’s event was to honor all Native American Code Talkers who used their native languages to encode sensitive messages and protect U.S. wartime communications in both World Wars I and II.

“It was our Code Talkers that ensured the freedom of the United States and that’s what is important to remember here,” President Begaye said.

Yes. It’s insensitive of Elizabeth to falsify that she is of that bloodline & use it for nefarious purposes.

Can someone make an Elizabeth Warren Faux indian headdress Meme, please?

Yes. It was their recognition, not a time for the Navajo Nation to give us their feelings. We recognized those brave men that were there, not their grandchildren’s feeling.

Thanks for playing though.

I've lived in Native country much of my life. My children are part native and it shows, but they didn't use it for free education. They got that for being northerners.

Native people don't need paternalistic SJWS to get offended on their behalf. They can fight their own battles.

If you are proud of your native heritage, buy some fur products or wild hide products... especially seal skin.

BTW Pocahontas was real, just not the Disney version.

Re: PRESS RELEASE: Navajo Nation reply to Donald Trump's speech
The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) was quick to condemn Mr. Trumpcommen that overshadowed the intent of the ceremony.

"We regret that the President's use of the name Pocahontas as a slur to insult a political adversary is overshadowing the true purpose of today's White House ceremony," stated NCAI President Jefferson Keel, a decorated U.S. Army officer and Vietnam War combat veteran. "Today was about recognizing the remarkable courage and invaluable contributions of our Native code talkers. That's who we honor today and everyday -- the three code talkers present at the White House representing the 10 other elderly living code talkers who were unable to join them, and the hundreds of other code talkers from the Cherokee, Choctaw, Comanche, Lakota, Meskwaki, Mohawk, Navajo, Tlingit, and other tribes who served during World Wars I and II."

I agree with Begaye.

It was highly insensitive for Elizabeth Warren to fraudulently claim that she has any Native American ancestry.

By Elizabeth Warren making the false claim that she's related to Pocahontas, she placed everyone in an awkward situation when President Trump accepted her word as truth and referred to her as such.

Understandably, the Native Americans were insulted by having someone like Warren claim to be one of them. They know she's a chindi.
