Question about English (US)
Primary voters head to the polls in Massachusetts, where Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren is trying to quiet Trump’s slam of her as “Pocahontas” (a nod to family accounts of her Native American heritage) as she works to retain her seat -- and, perhaps, campaign for president in 2020.
What does 'a nod to family accounts of her Native American heritage' mean?

"a nod" = a reference or an acknowledgement
"She wore a red and white dress, a nod to her country's flag."
"family accounts" = stories passed around in her family
"According to family accounts, we have some long-lost relatives in Sweden."
"Native American heritage" = a family background that is Native American
Elizabeth Warren has said that according to her family, she has some Native American ancestors. For that reason, Trump sometimes calls her "Pocahontas."
