You continue to downplay her actions. For starters, it's more than just one form. She carried on this ruse as she advanced her career. Again, nobody who thinks they have a little native blood signs their name with "Cherokee". Such a person would refuse to be named first NA anything, but she accepted it knowing the privilege the title confers. The only reasonable takeaway here is that she is wrong to have claimed Native status and she should retract the claim.
This is literally not true, it only appears on two forms. It was promoted by Harvard, and not her.
It's not like she was giving lectures on Native American suffering. She was a bankruptcy and finance lawyer and lecturer, and a highly regarded one at that.
