"Paintings and drawings by Ward Churchill are at the Arlene Hirschfelder Collection at (ta-da) the University of Arkansas at Little Rock!"
Ta-da!
Hirschfelder is an authority on Indian arts and crafts, and she authors nonfiction books about Indians for children. She just can't spot a fake Indian and his plagiarized art - she collects it and probably cites it!
It seems there are a hell of non-Indians who are (academic) authorities on Indian tribal cultures and art, and exploit Indian *issues.* Evidently, she's a colleague of Churchill's. In a bibliography of (recommended) Amer.Indian writers, she cites Churchill's essays, his TRIBAL indentity.(!)
