Elizabeth Warren is not a Native American — she’s just a Plagiarist. Warren touted both an 1894 marriage-license with an imaginary check-box and an obscure 1984 Indian cookbook, Pow Wow Chow as proof of her tribal origins. “Pow Wow Chow,” is a compilation of recipes supposed to have been passed down through the Five Tribes families.
