David Mamet’s play “November” had a wonderful send-up of Ward Churchill. The actor who played him was an absolute ringer for America’s most famous fake Indian.

I think we will find Churchill’s read birth certificate right next to Obama’s.

Right now all we know about them is that they were born, and in the case of Churchill, that is debatable.

Except for wife-killer, but that’s unproven as of yet.

Hope someone is still digging.

Oh, yeah...Chief Churchill. Did he eat people as most of his aboriginal brethren once did? So proud he is of his fake indian history.

Almost every white eyes I know that lives west of the Mississippi has a grandmother who was a “Cherokee princess”. It’s all part of the family lore.

One of my female ancestors has been inordinately difficult to trace, but I ran across an old letter that claimed she might have been something along those lines.

I figure she was as likely to have been the progeny of a stranded extraterrestrial flying saucer mechanic and a Dutch welldigger's daughter from Penn's Woods, but I have the sagacity to keep from spreading that particular theory without more proof.
