"I'm part Choctaw somewhere. Maybe I should embrace it?"
Maybe? Dude, Churchill rode this fraud into a tenured position. I bet he made $150,000 plus a year, "taught" maybe three days a week for maybe an hour a day, got summers off, full medical benefits, the whole time soliciting lithe, young freshmans to come to his swanky pad and check out his dream catcher collection . Because he ahd a card saying he was an Amercian Indian and hated America. You better jump on that gravy train!
As Dwight Yokum has been known to say... "I ain't that lonely yet"
