DESCRIPTION:Ward Churchill (Keetoowah Band Cherokee) is one of the most outspoken of 
 Native American activists and scholars in North America and a leading 
 analyst of indigenous issues. He is former tenured Professor of Ethnic 
 Studies and Coordinator of American Indian Studies at the University of 
 Colorado, fired in retaliation for the exercise of his First 
 Amendment-protected speech and in violation of the doctrine of Academic 
 Freedom.He is also co-director of the Colorado chapter of the American 
 Indian Movement and vice chair of the American Indian Anti-Defamation 
 Council.\n\nChurchill's many books include Fantasies of the Master Race, 
 Struggle for the Land, On the Justice of Roosting Chickens, From A Native 
 Son, Critical Issues in Native North America, The COINTELPRO Papers, 
 Indians R Us?, Agents of Repression, Since Predator Came, and A Little 
 Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas.\n\nIn his 
 lectures and numerous published works, Churchill explores the themes of 
 genocide in the Americas, racism, historical and legal (re)interpretation 
 of conquest and colonization, environmental destruction of Indian lands, 
 government repression of political movements, literary and cinematic 
 criticism, and indigenist alternatives to the status quo.\n\nChurchill is 
 also a past national spokesperson for the Leonard Peltier Defense 
 Committee, has served as a delegate to the United Nations Working Group on 
 Indigenous Populations (as a Justice/Rapporteur for the for the 1993 
 International People's Tribunal on the Rights of Indigenous Hawaiians), and 
 as an advocate/prosecutor of the First Nations International Tribunal for 
 the Chiefs of Ontario.\n\n\n"I have found [Churchill's writings on native 
 American history] to be assiduously researched, making important 
 contributions to a much-neglected part of this nation's history."\n— 
 Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States\n\n"Ward 
 [Churchill]'s scholarship is very serious, measured, non-hyperbolic and 
 uses primary sources extensively - in measured and honest ways."\n— James 
 Craven (Blackfoot Nation), Professor of Economics, Clark College, 
 Vancouver, Washington\n\n\n"Ward Churchill...defends the rights of 
 oppressed people, and exposes the dark side of past and current 
 history…These are achievements of inestimable value."\n— Noam Chomsky, 
 author and activist\n\n"Without reservations, I support Churchill’s right 
 to free speech and academic freedom, and regard the attack on him as 
 scurrilous - and by now craven cowardice as well, as the state authorities 
 and other critics pretend that the issue is (suddenly) his academic 
 credentials and ethnic origins. That’s a real disgrace." - Noam 
 Chomsky\nAdd Your Comments \n
