Maybe the national attention they'll get from Churchill's exposure will be the end of them. I'm sure that would make Anna Mae Pictou Aquash happy.

An Indian publication points out that when he speaks Colorado's radical professor Ward Churchill is "shielded apparently by his own American Indian Movement (AIM) security team." http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096410293

Bottom line: Colorado taxpayers should not be paying a salary to a traitor. Ifchurchill wishes to be rewarded for treason, he should move to massachussetts.
I saw them on C-Span at a rally for this wierdo
they looked like a bunch of thugs
Thanks for the input. I don't know too much about these Dog Soldiers. I did read that these were already existing for many years before AIM. That is, they aren't something AIM created, they existed in the Indian culture.
I think a lot of Indians are sick of Churchill and more may come out.
BTTT
You saw Ward Churchill's security? Could you describe it a bit more?
These Dog Soldiers aren't just security--they are also enforcement of things AIM wants.
One student who criticized Churchill because he gave her a bad grade said that "everybody is afraid of him."
This man's scholarship is really poor. There is no balance.
He just uses the Indian thing. He piggy-backs on the Indian issues to promote left-wing causes.
The Indians see that clearly enough.
People who don't know much about Indians will get a bad impression from Churchill. Probably that is what he wants--to stir up hatred between Indians and other Americans.
No tribe is claiming him. Elected Indian leaders don't believe in terrorism or in flying planes into buildings.
The elected Indian leaders are smeared by Ward Churchill as stooges and puppets of a "colonialist" regime. Actually, they are elected by Indians just like in other towns in America. The elected leaders of Indians are a more reliable source of Indian opinion than Ward Churchill.
I like reading this publication by and about Indians

Well, the Dog Soldier societies definitely pre-existed in tribal culture (although there were no Lakota Dog Soldiers - the Cheyenne, Hidatsa and Arikara had somewhat of a monopoly on the society initially), but AIM has rather, well, stolen the name. Bah.
Oh - went digging around earlier, and it turns out that AIM doesn't want Churchill, either. If you take a look at the following two website links, it'll take you to both pages of a flyer sent out regarding Churchill and his expulsion from AIM and other Indian organizations in the late 80's/early 90's.

AIM is divided into autonomous chapters. The Denver/Boulder AIM is the Ward Churchill group.
In Minneapolis is the other group.
Personally, both kind of scare me. They fight with each other for power and call their opponents FBI spies.
AIM was originally very left-wing 60s and 70s style.
Some of them were terrorists. Some were ex-cons and drug dealers. The same people still run things as always did.
Both AIMs claim to be "the one true AIM."
Both defend Leonard Peltier, who was convicted of shooting two FBI agents. I think Peltier was a criminal and that he shot those guys. It was his gun.
There is a lot of court testimony at http://www/noparolepeltier.com
There are a lot of nice Indians. There are educated articulate writers, educators, professionals, artists, and ordinary people. In my opinion, Indians have lots of better leaders than Leonard Peltier.
day bump
I remember hearing that he was an employee of S.O.F. magazine, and the SDHP... When I saw that years ago, I just figured he was some government schmuck who had infiltrated A.I.M. for some reason...
Either way, the Ward Churchill guy is a scumbag of the highest order...
Yeah, I tend to think that Peltier is guilty as sin, but when the prosecutor says "we have no idea who shot those agents", well, makes on wonder all the same ;)
Peltier admitted on TV that he shot at them. It was his gun.
A good site for the court evidence is http://www.noparolepeltier.com
Doesn't mean he actually hit them ;0)
Anyway, that's neither here nor there... my opinion has always been that he's guilty, but that's just my opinion.
Thanks for posting the stuff about Anna Mae, by the way. Her death never got the attention it truely needed...
By the way, if you go to the AIM site, you can find all kinds of interesting tidbits about Churchill from the old COINTELPRO stuff, like where he claimed "a years spent in Southeast Asia in combat" and his affiliation with the Weathermen/SDS etc...
Interesting stuff. ;)
I gotta say this as a man married to a 1/2 Blackfoot, 1/2 Quinault (out of Wa state)....My wife is a conservative and depises Churchill both for what he said and for claiming Indian heritage while doing so. My in-laws (all very liberal) surprisingly also despise this anti-american bastard. For the same reasons.
Yes you are so right....
We should continue forever to feel guilty for that which NO LIVING AMERICAN TOOK PART IN! Excuse me, but I feel NOT ONE OUNCE OF GUILT FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO PART IN.
Ignore educated patriot... Just another troll. Should we feel collective guilt for things done a hundred years ago or more? No, I don't think so...
Churchill will be defended by guys like "educatedpatriot" no matter how many lies he tells. Some people wouldn't know reality if it smacked them in the face with a 2x4...
Sad.
Shot AT them - from a building - which is a lot different than walking up and shooting them at point-blank range, which is what occurred...
Hell, I'd shoot back at feds who came to my home and started shooting into it, too...
But that being said, I'd also accept the consequences of it, too.
