 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

 literary and cinematic criticism, and indigenist alternatives to the status 
 quo.\n\nChurchill is also a past national spokesperson for the Leonard

 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\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\n
