Churchills statement that these people deserved what happened to them, and calling them little Eichmanns, comparing them to Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, who implemented Adolf Hitlers plan to exterminate European Jews and others, should be condemned by all.
The sorry part of this is Ward Churchill has fraudulently represented himself as an Indian, and a member of the American Indian Movement, a situation that has lifted him into the position of a lecturer on Indian activism. He has used the American Indian Movements chapter in Denver to attack the leadership of the official American Indian Movement with his misinformation and propaganda campaigns.
Ward Churchill has been masquerading as an Indian for years behind his dark glasses and beaded headband. He waves around an honorary membership card that at one time was issued to anyone by the Keetoowah Tribe of Oklahoma. Former President Bill Clinton and many others received these cards, but these cards do not qualify the holder a member of any tribe. He has deceitfully and treacherously fooled innocent and naïve Indian community members in Denver, Colorado, as well as many other people worldwide. Churchill does not represent, nor does he speak on behalf of the American Indian Movement.
New Yorks Hamilton College Kirklands Project should be aware that in their search for truth and justice, the idea that they have hired a fraud to speak on Indian activism is in itself a betrayal of their goals.

Oops...
Interesting....methinks we'll be finding out more about Ward Churchill than he ever thought or would like.
He's a member of the Wa-Na-Bee tribe?
Or was he a source for dan rather or jayson blair?
That'll get ya fired from teaching in an ethnic studies program.
I've got just a few drops of Cherokee blood running through my veins and I find Ward Churchill a phony.
bttt
I've seen pictures of him and he certainly looks like he could be of Native American ancestry. but I guess it's not so.....Ironic that CU is more likely to fire him for masquerading as an Indian than for his traitorous writings.
sent this link to Bill O'Reilly
blood in the water? chum the sharks....
This caught my eye
About 25% of the Ojibwa Indians share the 'X' gene found in only Europeans and American Indians. That is the highest % amongst any of the American Indians.
Churchill controversial on two fronts
...The Oneida Indian Nation [of New York], which has historic ties to nearby Hamilton, issued the following statement:''It's disturbing that anyone would use such hateful speech, and do so while claiming to be an American Indian when there is significant evidence that he is not. Professor Churchill caused many in the media to falsely believe an American Indian scholar could besmirch the lives of those who died on 9/11. Because of this, he owes every American Indian an apology.
''Likewise it is sad that he would perpetrate this apparent hoax on Hamilton College, an institution founded to help educate Indian students.'' (Hamilton was founded by Samuel Kirkland, 18th century missionary to the Oneidas, and the famous Oneida Chief Schenandoah is buried on its grounds.....)
Wasn't it some of their members accused of gunning down FBI agents some years ago?
Dennis Banks?
Hmmm.
Ol Flagg's got more than a few pints of Cherokee Apache.
Arms balder than a baby's butt.
Uh oh! You mean that old Ward is a fraud? Who would have guessed it? < /sarcasm >
A little bird tells me that Churchill should not be found on the res after dark.
Just like Clinton was a Black President.
