ADVERTISEMENTPresident Donald Trump’s use of “Pocahontas” to take a jab at Sen. Elizabeth Warren during an event honoring Native American veterans Monday sparked outrage among politicians. Trump has referred to Warren as “Pocahontas” several times since she made unverified claims during her 2012 Senate race that she has Native American heritage. The prejudice that Native American people face is an unfortunate historical legacy. — Ed Markey (@SenMarkey) November 27, 2017Trump's Pocahontas remark in front of Navajo code talkers is offensive and shows his complete ignorance for Native American history during Native American Heritage Month. Donald Trump owes an apology to Tribal Nations and these American heroes.
