Churchill went on to say that he is an associate member of the Keetoowah tribe and that associates are enrolled in the band after their genealogy has been vetted by the enrollment office. Do I remember correctly that Churchill's is an honorary membership category granted to anyone, regardless of heritage, including Bill Clinton? And that the tribe itself denies that he is a member?
I have known a few people in my life who would make up lies on the spot to suit the occasion. But none made it to tenured professor.

The issue of whether Churchill has Indian blood is part of the national debate over the controversial professor who gained notoriety for comparing some Sept. 11, 2001, victims to Nazis. ><
......Churchill says,....'DNA' is 'bad' science?

Zero is definitely less than one-quarter.

What bothers me more than that this hate-filled lunatic is abroad on college campuses is that there are a body of people who applaud and lap up this crapola.
To: freespirited
LOL. This is just getting to be comical.
To: freespirited
"he is less than one-quarter Indian" Yes, zero is less than one quarter.

He said that he is less than one-quarter Indian, Practically everyone I know is less than one-quarter Indian, so therefore we all must be Indian.

But that doesn't change the fact that he IS NOT. Tribes have come forth to say he is not a member but not a single tribe has come forth to claim him as one of their own. Genealogists working on it can find to no Native American ancestor. He is a fraud and an intellectual midget.

I have known a few people in my life who would make up lies on the spot to suit the occasion. But none made it to tenured professor. We all know of one who was AG and governor of Arkansas and then President of the US. We also know of at least one sitting Senator from New York who qualifies.

Seems like I read somewhere that in order to claim membership in a tribe to get benefits (like a share in the Oklahoma oil leases) you only have to be 1/16th Native American.
Anyone have the straight skinny on that?

Iron Eyes Cody was born Espera DeCorti on 3 April 1904 in the small town of Kaplan, Louisiana. He was the son of Francesca Salpietra and Antonio DeCorti, immigrant from Sicily. (whoa.)

Swiss/German is whiter than white.
Churchhill takes a job set aside for a minority, then when discovered wants minorities to stand up him.
Something like killing your parents and wanting sympathy from the court 'cause you're an orphan.
If I want to steal a minority job, and I can prove I "hate" white people, will the indians play the fool for me? Churchill is playing 'em all. What a hoot.
