According to an article posted on www.townhall.com, Churchhill claims to be an Indian, but he has never produced any proof of Indian descent or membership in a tribe. When the U of C was asked how he made tenure without a PhD, the university said it was because he had so many publications. Research on that point revealed that at the time he was granted tenure, he had exactly two publications of which one was a two page book review criticizing the FBI. He has since published three books, but they are published by radical fringe book publishers.
The article went on to say that he also claims to be a member of the American Indian Movement, and has made his career on being invited by other liberals to speak about the "genocide against his people" by the evil U.S.
Churchill is old, hard-line AIM. This organization splinters into factions and each claims to be the one true AIM. So they all say the others aren't in AIM.
This is like different communist parties have factional fighting.
Allegedly Churchill injured a woman AIM activist who crossed him. Her name was Carol Standing Elk.
We've only seen the tip of the ice berg on Ward Churchill.
It is the Indians who are going to expose him. Indian reporters have been gathering information on Ward Churchill. The best Indian publication in my opinion is Indian Country Today. http://www.indiancountry.com/index.cfm
Suzan Shown Harjo and Jodi Rave have written about Churchill. http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096410295
Rave got a bad grade in Churchill's class after she exposed that he wasn't really an Indian.
