Senator Elizabeth Warren belongs to an elite club of American professors who have risen to academic heights through a fraudulent claim of Native American ancestry. In fact, it’s such an elite club that I can only think of one other known member: Ward Churchill.

Remember Ward Churchill? He was a professor of ethnic studies (of all things) who claimed to be of Creek, Muskogee and Cherokee descent. Problem was, the admixture of Indian blood tended to shift with the telling. By one account in 1992, he said he was one-eighth Creek and one-sixteenth Cherokee. In another version, in 1993, he dropped to one-sixteenth Creek and Cherokee. Somehow, in 2005 he jumped to three-sixteenths Cherokee in yet another claim. Eventually the real Cherokee themselves called Churchill’s claims to tribal membership to be fraudulent.

Churchill had managed to parlay his phony claim to Indian ancestry into a career in academia at the University of Colorado - Boulder beginning, it seems, in 1979 when he listed on his employment application with the school that he was Native American. He was hired by CU, ironically as an affirmative action officer, while also lecturing in the ethnic studies program on issues relating to Native Americans. In 1990, he was promoted to associate professor at CU, despite lacking a requisite doctorate for the job.

What's up with the similar haircuts? I wonder why Lizzy the Indian doesn't wear her hair like this anymore. Hmmm.

Real indians call Ward Churchill “Walking Eagle,” because he’s so full of sh!t he can’t fly.

Princess Spreading Bull, aka Liz “I’ll Get Me A Beer” Warren, is no different — a total fraud.

I said here recently when Lizzie was pretending to be an Indian she wore her hair like a squaw , parted in the middle and chopped short on the side. Then when she was busted as a fake she went to wearing it nicely styled like a typical upper middle class suburban housewife. What a phony this broad is.

[chris37]

Yep.

That’s exactly what she was doing.

I worked with some real Amerinds when I was a firefighter (they always joked “only white men get poison oak”), those 2 palefaces don’t even come close to looking like AMERICAN INDIANS.

It’s AMAZING how well Warren passes for an old Caucasian lady!

And she’s only 1023/1024 Caucasian! She said so!

There is a family legend I’ve never run down that my father’s grandmother was Cherokee. So, I’m about as much an Indian as Churchill or Fauxcahontas. I never realized I could have parleyed that into an academic career!
