Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) expressed regret for her claims of Native American heritage in a new interview, pointing to her family members as the source of her misleading account of her heritage. While Warren noted that the heritage claims “never had anything to do with any job that I ever got,” she emphasized that it was a mistake. I am not a citizen of a tribe, but what I try to do is be a good friend to Native Americans.”The senator cited her American Housing and Economic Mobility Act, which she introduced in 2018 to further affordable housing initiatives. Part of it includes a $2 billion investment in tribal lands for the creation or renovation of 200,000 homes.
