"Tracking blood lines is the business of Nazi Germany and South Africa (under apartheid)," said professor George Tinker, who teaches American Indian culture and religious tradition at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver.

Well, looks like Roots was Nazi propaganda after all.

"He's not in the database at all and is not a member of the Keetoowah,"

Perhaps he's listed under a different name. ......like Chief Running Bedwetter.

Eating peyote buttons in college does not a native american make.

Tinker said that it should be up to the tribes themselves to decide who is an Indian.

[Churchill said that it should be up to the individual himself to decide who is an Indian.]

Phony, fake, fraud, poseur, faux-indian scumbag.

Tinker said that it should be up to the tribes themselves to decide who is an Indian.

The United Keetoowah Band Cherokee says University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill is not a member of their tribe.

OK. Case closed.

If this is true, that he lied in print about his Indian heritage, that may be enough for the CU trustees to fire him. Other professors have been fired for dishonesty connected to their job. And this clown is head of an American Indian program at CU.

"Tracking blood lines is the business of Nazi Germany and South Africa (under apartheid)," said professor George Tinker, who teaches American Indian culture and religious tradition at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver. "That's not an Indian issue at all."

Really? Oh, that's good. Then I'm Cherokee too. NO, really, I am. No Joke.

I'm not on the rolls, but there are lots of cherokees like me from Oklahoma that aren't on the rolls.

Why is it I think the closest this guy evercame to being an Indian was once when he paid a prostitute from Calcutta.

[Cicero]

I would guess that Churchill is an opportunist as well as an ideologue.

By pretending to be a politically correct Indian, he probably got massive scholarships all the way through college and then got on the fast track to be chair of a department at a prestigious university, although he has written only one book, and a fatuous one at that.

Try checking the "White Male" box on the application forms and see if you get the same treatment.

Wannabees are a sad group wherever they exist.
He's in desperate need of some psychiatric counseling.

[apackof2]

You are probably right

What a despicable person!

I just heard John Gibson interview two of his student defenders..Looks like they are going to need deprogramming.

[mbennett203]

Anyone watching John Gibson tear some of his minions a new a**hole on the Factor?

[Enchante]

Yup, and it was probably a male prostitute........
oops, am I being politically incorrect?

Being part Native American and being able to document it can be two entirely different things.
