Carr made the gesture at a rally in Bangor, Maine after mentioning [Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren](http://time.com/4384010/hillary-clinton-elizabeth-warren-vice-ohio/?iid=sr-link2), whom [Trump has given the racially-charged nickname of “Pocahontas.”](http://time.com/4384265/donald-trump-elizabeth-warren/?iid=sr-link1) Trump has accused her of lying about her heritage, and his supporters have also chanted Indian war cries at previous rallies, the [New York _Times_ reported](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/18/us/politics/donald-trump-native-americans.html). “We are outraged at the lack of cultural sensitivity and ignorance being portrayed as the race towards the White House continues,” said Jackie Pata, executive director of the National Congress of American Indians, in a statement on Wednesday. “This is not a fight about political correctness, but rather a matter of respect for our people, our lands, our governments, and our youth.” Warren, who has said she is part Native American, has been criticized for using her heritage to gain an advantage in her academic career. Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, who was defeated by Warren in a 2012 election, called this week for her to take a DNA test to prove her heritage. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4388618/donald-trump-rally-native-american-war-whoop-howie-carr/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4388618/donald-trump-rally-native-american-war-whoop-howie-carr/"},"headline":"Conservative Pundit Mocks Elizabeth Warren With Stereotypical Native American 'War Whoop'","datePublished":"2016-06-29T21:43:43.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-15T00:04:22.000Z","description":"At a Donald Trump rally","url":"https://time.com/4388618/donald-trump-rally-native-american-war-whoop-howie-carr/","keywords":["Donald Trump","elizabeth warren"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4388618/donald-trump-rally-native-american-war-whoop-howie-carr/","name":"Conservative Pundit Mocks Elizabeth Warren With Stereotypical Native American 'War Whoop'"}}]}] ```
