Liberalism, personified.

LOL. This is absolutely amazing and hilarious. I've seen Mr. Churchill spewing his garbage on Free Speech TV, wearing beads, headbands, dark glasses, the whole bit. Probably so he could get them heap big gubmint checks.

He's a fraud and a scam artist. Liberalism personified.

**United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians of Oklahoma????**

No, he isnt a member there either. See this website/page for further information but the farthest Churchill got was an "associate" membership--which besically means "friends of" but NOT indian--and even that has now been revoked.

""In a sense, he's misleading people," Ross said. "He's like the others - that's what he's done." "When it comes to Churchill, I've always thought he was a wannabe Indian," Allen said. "His history is a little bit like Forrest Gump." "

churchill's hair was jet black circa 1980.

did he dye it? to create his persona?

today, his hair is clearly ligher--a brown, with patches of greying.

I can spot a dye job. Especially back in 1980, they were not as good.I think it's the light, the film and other circumstances he's photographed in

I wrote to U of C her eis their response SUBJECT: Response Concerning Professor Churchill FROM: Philip P. DiStefano, Interim Chancellor SENDER: Pauline Hale, UCB Communications Executive Director DATE: March 3, 2005 On behalf of the Board of Regents and President Hoffman, I want to thank you for taking the time to comment on Professor Ward Churchill. While the issue is difficult, we can only be served by having an open and honest dialog as we move forward together. Let me state unequivocally that Professor Churchill's views are his own and do not represent the views of University of Colorado faculty, staff, students, administration or Regents. As you may suspect, we have received comments from concerned local and national citizens expressing viewpoints that range from urging for his dismissal from the CU-Boulder faculty and other disciplinary measures to supporting his right to express his opinions. At the Feb. 3 Board of Regents meeting, I announced a course of action that provides due process. Over the next few weeks, I will oversee a thorough examination of Professor Churchill's writings, speeches, tape recordings and other works. The purpose of this internal review is to determine whether Professor Churchill overstepped his bounds as a faculty member, showing cause for dismissal as outlined in the Laws of the Regents. At the conclusion of this examination, I will determine whether to issue a notice of intent to dismiss for cause, other action as appropriate, or no action. If a notice to dismiss for cause or some other action is issued then the subsequent process will be governed by the Laws of the Regents. Before such a decision can be made, the University must observe due process as required by the U.S. Constitution and the Laws of the Regents. The University is obligated to carefully balance the protections afforded by the First Amendment, as well as follow very specific University rules and processes for faculty discipline. Our processes will guide our actions in the most thoughtful and equitable manner. I am hopeful that you will consider the actions already taken to deal with this matter that strikes so deeply at both our national conscience and the core tenets of any institution of higher education. President Hoffman has stated, "The rights afforded those of us in the academic community to pursue our scholarly work come with a heavy responsibility to behave with integrity and professionalism and to meet the highest ethical standards our disciplines demand. These standards create the boundaries within which academic freedom rests." I encourage you to visit the CU-Boulder News Center Web site at for additional information and updates on this situation. Again, we thank you for your interest in the University of Colorado and for expressing your opinion. Sincerely, Philip P. DiStefano

Enrollment to the Cherokee Tribe requires you to prove your blood linage in the Roll books that have been kept,there are two: 1) for the western band and 2) for the eastern band of the Cherokee these books were kept before and after the Trail of Tears. Though you only have to have 1/16 blood linage and the prove of ancestors in the books.
This guy has clear not done his research to prove his blood linage to get his Tribal Enrollment papers and card.
