Harjo has been on Ward Churchill's trail for a long time.

Ward Churchill is a dangerous person. He is really just a white man exploiting Indians for his radical agenda to destroy the US.

More from paper:

Harjo, a Cheyenne and Muskogee, said Churchill has "almost no influence" among American Indians except in Denver. "His influence is with other white people."

Artist David Bradley, of Santa Fe, N.M., a Chippewa, said he and Churchill ran afoul over Bradley's support of a law saying that people holding themselves out as American Indian artists are required to show they are actually Indians.

"That's what caused him to first attack me, before I ever heard of the guy," Bradley said. "Out of the clear blue sky, he published this attack."

Bradley said that Churchill "destroys our credibility."

"He's a white man who earns his living masquerading as an Indian. He's a pseudo-Indian profiteer. He takes opportunities intended for our people, our legitimate speakers, who can honestly speak about the American Indian experience."

Churchill is really just another liberal snake oil salesman activist. The more outlandish the claim, the more he can be assured that he will shake things up enough to draw in a core of support from the fringes. With enough support, he gets notice, gets attention, and therefore makes a living.

I am waiting for the Colorado papers to put the missing felon, lawyer, and AIM activist, Lee Hill, together with Ward Churchill and AIM.

Where is Lee Hill???? Where are his knives and burglar tools?

Why did AIM manipulate the investigation into the JonBenet Ramsey murder?? Answer: they wanted to discredit law enforcement and the government. They wanted people to believe a big lie: that the FBI and government were protecting a ring of powerful pedophiles.

But Noam Chomsky, the noted political author and MIT linguistics professor that Churchhill cited as an intellectual ally, said much of Churchill's work is "excellent, penetrating and of high scholarly quality."

Go live in an old gulag camp in Siberia Noam. Oh, I forgot, they never existed. Then I guess you'll have to settle for a nice villa in North Korea.

Anyway, take your sorry academics and your friends and leave.

Ward Churchill got just what he wanted from the start, much free press! He now is a celebrity. The press makes such monsters!

The press will hang around waiting for his next anti establishment statements. People like this serve very little if any constructive purpose - they can't get their perverted needs satisfied through good work so they become rebels, rebels "without a cause" -- they do anything to cause diversions and to get attention.

To the hard left, truth and facts are indistinguishable from lies and fabrications. The end result, the conclusion drawn are all that matter.

But Noam Chomsky, the noted political author and MIT linguistics professor that Churchhill cited as an intellectual ally, said much of Churchill's work is "excellent, penetrating and of high scholarly quality."

That seems to be in dispute. Chomsky has published his share of hate-America, so he apparently sees a comrade in Churchill. But Churchill's work may not be quite as 'excellent, penetrating and of high scholarly quality' as Chomsky thinks. Birds of a feather?

Thomas Brown, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Lamar University, Beaumont, TX, writes in his essay, Ward Churchill and the Mandan Indian Smallpox Epidemic:

...This article analyzes Churchill’s accusations against of the US Army of a genocide. Churchill argues that the US Army created a smallpox epidemic among the Mandan people in 1837 by distributing infected blankets. While there was a smallpox epidemic on the Plains in 1837, historians agree that it was accidental, and the Army wasn’t involved.

...

Ward Churchill was previously accused of plagiarism and research fraud in two published articles by University of New Mexico law Professor John Lavelle.[1] Churchill’s tale of the Mandan genocide appears to fit the pattern that LaVelle first laid out.

[Time is now]

Noam Chomsky? See him clinging to the turd that is leftist ideology, thinking it will save him, as both get sucked down the toilet of wasted thoughts...

[Racehorse]

Churchill says he is at least one-sixteenth Cherokee and also Creek, and that it has been verified by several Cherokee researchers. But he hasn't offered the name of any ancestor who has been shown to be American Indian. Critics who researched his family tree found only white branches.

The Cherokee must be the most sexually appealing people ever to have existed.  Does anyone reading this thread not know at least one person who claims to have some Cherokee blood pulsing through their veins?

There's a number of Indian wannabes hanging around the reserve near where I live.

These white boys wear the beads and ribbon shirts. Have a "medicine" bag hanging from a belt. They hold sweats. Get money for "spiritual" advice from other stupid white Indian wannabes. The elders in the tribe get quite peeved. Every two years or so they need to form a war party and run them off the reserve.

[StonyBurk]

Leaving the relative question--is Churchill really the
living reflection of Roger Baldwin the convict who concocted the ACLU as a transmission belt to Soviet Communist dictatorship?An old white man I've come to appreciate Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1733 "a learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one."
and th enext year published "the family of fools is ancient."I learned in fourth grade it was unwise to insist
I was of ancestry other than Irish and German.there are
plenty of scounderals and near saints in my own heritage
without the fantasy.

[Beckwith]

Heritage, writings split Indian activists.

But Noam Chomsky, the noted political author and MIT linguistics professor that Churchhill cited as an intellectual ally, said much of Churchill's work is "excellent, penetrating and of high scholarly quality."

Exactly what tribe does Noam Chomsky belong to? I know, it's the Fugowie, as in "we're the Fugowie"?

[ken21]

recent photographs show churchill with brown hair, and now some aging grey, white hair.

in the 1980s he had black hair.

i wonder if he dyed his hair in the 1980s to create his image as indian?

On what the Federal Welfare system has done to Native Americans:

[metesky]

This is good, not only for the Churchill slamming, but the infighting between the various "Native American" factions.

Has anyone stopped to think about who our allies were as we rolled from coast to coast, picking off one tribe after another?

Why the other tribes of course!

We never could have conquered the "Native Americans" so quickly without "Native American" allies playing a leading role.

[demnomo]

I'm totally amazed at Russ Means' support of this idiot. I was under the impression that he thought Churchill was a white guy Indian-wannabe. I guess that would be Dennis Banks' (another AIM founder who is currently active, unlike Means) line. Must have mixed up the two.

Anyways, the Indian woman reporter is right when she says that talking about ones' people (ie: Indian heritage and living relatives) is like saying "hello." Whenever I meet another Indian, we always ask about each other's people and tribe.

I know the names of most of my immediate relatives from both the Keeweena Bay Indian Community in Michigan and the White Earth Reservations in Minnesota. Ward Churchill is a big, fat fraud.
