I heard this on today's Thom Hartmann show (right at the beginning), based on a recent Huffington Post story. The Washington Post story that Native Americans were upset with Warren over the DNA test was based solely on a single Native individual, not a single group or representative of a group. www.thomhartmann.com/ The tribes interviewed by Huffington Post all consider her an ally.
However, later in the program, a caller points out that Warren wouldn't speak out against DAPL (Dakota Access Pipeline) two years ago. I'd forgotten about that.

Apparently Thom Hartmann and Huffington Post have made a gross error. A number of Indian groups/voices ARE expressing displeasure at Warren's statements.
I'm surprised. I've come to think of Thom Hartmann as pretty well-informed.

Thanks for the correction, Oss Rae. I read your initial post when I got home from Friday's Montrose Peace Vigil, where I recited the stories I'd read saying that Native Americans had issues with Warren's DNA test, and had wondered if I got it wrong. Like you, I had always found Thom Hartmann reliable.
I really enjoyed that "Democracy Now!" segment from last October. All three guests provided deep truths that I hadn't even considered.
Speaking strictly of the politics, I thought that Warren should have sat on the results when the percentage came in so low. She played Trump's game and lost. Also, I grew weary of her e-mail blasts and unsubscribed last week. I hadn't read anything new about her for months.
