Can someone please explain why Native American organizations are very quick to criticize Elizabeth Warren for her actions regarding her ancestry, but it's complete crickets when it comes to Trump and his Pocahontas slur?

“native americans” is a very broad brush. pan-indianism, or whatever one may call it, is a recent phenomenon brought about by common interests. there are many native tribes, each with their own culture, traditions, agendas, etc.

so, the main people who criticized warren were the cherokees. cherokees have money they dont want to spread around, and have marginalized “black cherokees” who are the descendents of the slaves they once owned and fucked (oh yes they did). cherokees were originally from the carolinas...

they recently had to accept them as members. see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher...en_controversy

other people also complained mainly on the basis of tribal sovereignty—tribal membership is decided by tribes not dna tests. which, sure. obviously.

some natives did come out in her defense though. as you know natives are not a monolithical entity.

but anyway there was plenty of protest when pocahontas was first uttered

as for the mental one, we will not give it a further platform by discussing it.
