Statement of American Indian Movement DENOUNCING Ward Churchill

American Indian Movement ^

[PJ-Comix]

Among many other things, Ward Churchill should be fired for FRAUDULENTLY passing himself off as an Indian. As you can see, REAL Indians have denounced him.

Ward Churchill should be fired for FRAUDULENTLY passing himself off as an Indian.

I quite agree with you.

Hannity really cleaned the Russell Means scumbag's clock yesterday, on the radio show. Means is a major player in AIM, so I'd guess he's upset at AIM's denunciation of the Churchill moron, too.

I wonder what personal, financial and occupational benefits and preferences he has obtained via the fraudulent heritage claim?

Looooooong list of possibilities, I would think.....

[PJ-Comix]

Just WHAT is Churchill's background? Is Churchill his real name? Also what part of the country is he from?

[talleyman]

bump!

[Fast1]

Wow slimeball Churchill speak with forked tongue.

[ErnBatavia]

[MileHi]

Means is a major player in AIM,

Make that AIM Colorado.

I wonder what personal, financial and occupational benefits and preferences he has obtained via the fraudulent heritage claim?

Excellent question; if he gained financially by claiming Indian heritage (via grants from the Federal govt., etc.)....well, that could be grounds for Federal investigation/indictment/charges.

[Kenton]

I wonder what personal, financial and occupational benefits and preferences he has obtained via the fraudulent heritage claim?

Well, he was Chairmain of the Ethnic Studies Department at U of Colorado, until just recently, along with a good salary and perks. UC was totally had by this fraud.

[nicmarlo]

That I don't know; someone posted another good article this a.m. concerning more background information on Churchill; it was written by another Indian, condemning Churchill. I'll link to that article here...perhaps she may speak to some of that; perhaps direct correspondence to her may reveal more personal information concerning Churchill, as well.

[DustyMoment]

American Indians are a proud people with a long history. It is disgraceful that a human tumor like Ward Churchill has attached himself to a group that don't need anymore damage inflicted on them by white men.

[nicmarlo]

Here, PJ...this is the article...you may get a bit more background info on him from here and the writer:

Harjo: Why Native identity matters: A cautionary tale (Ward Churchill smacked by Indian columnist)

[Lekker 1]

UC was totally had by this fraud.

I wonder about this...I would be more likely to think that UC just figured no one would even question it. To say that UC was duped is to say that they were stupid or gullable. I find that hard to believe. UC admin was able to fill a "slot" in their faculty.

There will always be scumbags like Ward Churchill around. The problem is that there are people who give them jobs or pay them to speak. That is the schwerpunkt - the place to attack.

Someone (us) needs to make it clear to universities that they can't get away with this. If they hire a fraud without performing due diligence then they are negligent and owe their benefactors recompense. We need a Sarbanes-Oxley for universities. University presidents will be personally responsible for the legitimacy of of their faculty credentials. Those credentials are a selling point and if they're false, it's fraud.

We have enough people livid over this idiot Churchill that something could be done. Let's write our CongressCritters right away.

Hey, I can dream.

>>>>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.

The sorrier part is that it actually made a difference whether or not he was an American Indian. That whole MLK thing about judging a man based on the content of his character just got used to wipe Ward Churchill's bunghole.
