She also has access to the files that could back up that claim, but won't release them. I don't think, by any means, she should have to.
Imagine if this was Trump, Cruz, or another Republican instead of Warren. How would you feel?
I think it's pretty obvious she's taken advantage of claiming she's Native American for personal and political gains.
To me, it just comes across as deceptive and disingenuous to make her claims - especially knowing when and why she made them.
This whole thing is ridiculous we're even talking about them. We've been TMZ'd and Access Hollywood'd.

Nah, I really am 1/128th NA. I always knew I was and the wifey did the whole ancestry.com thing about 10 years ago and found out just how much.
That said, I’d never identify as NA and any jerkoff who would is just that, a jerkoff.

Go ahead and point me to the evidence that makes this 'pretty obvious'

My avatar is a painting I made of a painting that my late grandparents had in their basement. Another member of my family claimed the original after they passed, so I took a picture of it and painted it because it was very dear to me.
Some of my favorite memories as a kid was playing in my grandparent's basement by that painting. There was something fascinating and scary about the painting (I was a kid.)
I thought to myself that my grandfather must have been part Native American and that's why he had the painting and other Native American artifacts in his home. I also started thinking that I, too, must have been part Native American and that explained why I had dark skin and hair while all of my brothers had pale skin, redhair and freckles. I was so convinced of this I told my friends and cousins I was part Native American and I felt a sense of pride doing so.
Obviously, being a kid, my imagination got away from me. Telling myself I wasn't part Native American was like telling myself Santa wasn't real. It was hard, but I eventually learned I didn't have to be Native to love their culture (oh, and that it wasn't true and a lie.) Lol
In other words, I too, was once that guy. I stopped being him when I was 8 or so.

Um, it conveniently has a history of being brought up by her and when and where she has brought it up? Lol
Also, the article I provided mentions several things.

Yeah, thought it tied in pretty well with the thread and conversation. Shoot me.

So you don't have specifics. Figured as
much.
The article you provided actually refutes your claims here
Harvard Law School professor Charles Fried, who served as U.S. Solicitor General under President Ronald Reagan and was part of the committee that put Warren in a tenure position, said in a written statement that her ethnicity never came up during the process.
Here
Asked about Warren’s minority status, Robert H. Mundheim, the dean who hired Warren at the University of Pennsylvania, told the Boston Globethat summer, "‘I don't think I ever knew that she had those attributes and that would not have made much of a difference."
Here
A number of news organizations interviewed dozens of faculty and students from the three law schools where Warren taught, and no evidence emerged that any claim about her ethnic roots played a role in the hiring process.
That hasn’t moved her critics, including a biting op-ed in the conservative National Review, but even that article acknowledged hard proof of favoritism is lacking.
And here
Warren’s heritage wasn’t something she brought up during her 2012 Senate race against Republican Scott Brown.
The questions started with a Boston Herald story on April 27, 2012.
"Elizabeth Warren’s avowed Native American heritage — which the candidate rarely if ever discusses on the campaign trail — was once touted by embattled Harvard Law School officials who cited her claim as proof of their faculty’s diversity,"
It seems to me that Harvard used her claimed minority status to make themselves look more inclusive, but that's about as far as it goes.
