In her defense, she does say 'part', not just Cherokee.
“Part” enough to cause her paternal grandparents to freak out?
Warren tells the story like her mom wore buckskins and had feathers in her hair.

And why is "Cherokee"always the go to tribe with almost everyone you meet that claims indian heritage?
Because they were Southeastern, one of the first recorded...became part of popular imagination and lore.
Traded with the English in Virginia...
People like to also claim Navajo because they are seen as peaceful, corn-growing, clay pot makers.
Nobody in politics says, I am descended from the Sioux or Commanche.
They don't want to be associated with war ravaging tribes that wanted to kill and enslave the other plains Indians...because that ruins the narrative that the 500 Nations were all just happy-go-lucky peaceful co-existing when a couple of white guys with muskets showed up with ponies and ruined Xanadu.

There were more Cherokee than most tribes,
Not sure what this means but there are many tribes
up in New England (where pocahontas claims her ancestry) and Cherokee would be far from the multiple tribes in the area

There needs to be an investigation to.see if she has ever used her fake Indian heritage on any type of business application, or similar as a way to use a minority status to get said job, business winning bids etc. Has she profited by falsely claiming a minority status..it would be a federal offense in some instances.

I was always told that we had some Cherokee lineage on my dads side. Once I started doing genealogy about 20 years ago I discovered that my great, great, great grand mother attended a school for Indian children in Elijay, Ga in 1840.
My dad told me he had heard the story when he was young from his dad. His dad died in 54 when my dad was 12. As I grew older and more interested, My meemaw could only confirm that she had heard the same tale from my dads father and his parents when they were young in the 1930s.
It was kind of cool to find the school register on Ancestry. Com and be able to show my dad that the tale was at least partially true. I found her family on the 1840 census(she was 14) but it only had her dad listed and some siblings. He was listed as a farmer and only his state of birth(Ga.) There was no mother in the household so she might have been dead and I couldn’t even locate them on the 1830 census. I would love to know if both of her parents were full blooded or if only one was. I will probably never know if my great x3 Grandmother was full blooded or half blooded.

The Cherokee were considered as one of the "Civilized" Tribes.
They were farmers and had their own written language.
