But she never had any heritage to begin with, according to the investigation. It's good to connect with your roots, but hers were European.

Exactly. She apparently does not have native heritage nor did she grow up as part of a native community. Her adoption did not happen until she was an adult and her various stories about her birth can not all be true. In fact it seems none of them are.

I find the whole saga sad on several levels.

Yeah but stories like this tend to make people ask the question "What is required to be 'native'?" and then you start to get into the various systems required to determine band membership.
