WASHINGTON, D.C.—Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren changed the name on her Twitter account, becoming the first Democratic candidate to put an authentic given Indian name into his or her profile.
Warren changed her account to read: “She Who Stands Like Tall Tree And Cries When Blue Corn Moon Shines On Happy Badger” so there would be no confusion about how to refer to her. She considered using authentic Indian names given to her by tribes other than her native Cherokee, including “She Who Panders Like Weasel” and “White Girl,” but stuck with her original Indian name given in the teepee where she was born.
