Ward Churchill is clinging to his spurious claims of being of Native American extraction, despite being refuted on that score by the tribe of which he claims to be an "associate member." (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1335149/posts)
But if he IS a tribe member, what would a properly-fitted "Indian name" be for him? Let's hear your suggestions! I'll get us started:
Lying Dog?
Brain Fell Out?
Doped Too Much?
Walking Fertilizer?
Pads His Resume?
Runs with Jackals?.....Forked Tongue Skunk?.....Dung For Brains?......Yellow Stripe?.....Sides With Enemies?.....Much Noise, Little Drum?.....Born With No Spear?.....Big Wind?

and my personal favorite...

Boy. the way freepers got on top of all the "racist" senators that voted against condaleeza rice, you sure are easy going with negative stereotypical slurs against the american indians. i'm not sure natives give their kids "indian names" anymore. i know my mom didn't. one name for me and one name for each of my 4 siblings. no weird descrptives... just good old white names like john dennis carl dotsi and stephanie. maybe it's only racist when the other side is keeping powerful republican black women down. or supporting racist ideals like affirmative action.
Yes Native Americans are still given names. It is done by a Medicine Man and only after he has met the individual and received a vision.
The local medicine man in my part of Northern Michigan is Chippewa but the locals prefer the Lakota man who travels through here several times a year.
Interesting to me is that there are no longer any "Man afraid of his horse" or " Little Big Man" Every one now seems to be Bear, Eagle, or Wolf something or other.
I can only assume you were thinking the same thing!?

Does he have a sister named "White Cloud" and a brother named "Running Deer"?
thanks, mustard plaster. your knowledge seems to supercede mine. i respectfully retract some of my animosity toward name callers.
I found out a few years ago that my Dad's Mom was 1/2 Cherokee.I'm not familiar with all the customs and all, so thanks for the info,
