Cherokee Phoenix - Nov. 2, 2018
TAHLEQUAH – U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin says he was referring to Cherokees who left the Cherokee Nation East before the Trail of Tears when he spoke on Fox News about his ancestors ending their “volunteer walk” in eastern Oklahoma.
During an Oct. 16 interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” the CN citizen discussed his family’s roots in eastern Oklahoma while addressing Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s DNA test that showed she had some Native ancestry.
