DESCRIPTION:Cultural Genocide Conference With Ward Churchill in Ukiah March 
 13\n\nContact: Barbara and John Stephens-Lewallen (707)895-2996 
 \n\n--Mendocino County, February 2, 2010\n\n\nWard Churchill, the world’s 
 leading social science expert on genocide against American Indians, has 
 agreed to attend the Cultural Genocide Conference to be held at Mendocino 
 College in Ukiah on March 13.\n\nThe Cultural Genocide Conference will 
 convene in the Little Theater at nine A.M. with three hours of “First 
 Nations Speak,” presentations by leaders of sovereign tribal nations and 
 other Native Americans.   Ward Churchill will speak beginning at one in the 
 afternoon.\n\nRecent charges have been made that the Marine Life Protection 
 Act Initiative is causing cultural genocide by ignoring tribal sovereignty, 
 and closing traditional tribal food-gathering areas essential to the 
 survival of several North Coast tribal cultures.  The Cultural Genocide 
 Conference will receive the testimony of affected First Nations peoples.  
 Ward Churchill offers his expert judgment and wide knowledge of struggles 
 for food sovereignty and indigenous cultural survival worldwide.\n\nWard 
 Churchill, author of “A Little Matter of Genocide,” is a scholar with a 
 huge list of peer-reviewed social science writings in American Indian 
 Studies.  A tenured professor at the University of Colorado, he was fired 
 for speaking the truth as he saw it.  Ward Churchill’s speaking fees help 
 pay for lawyers in his reinstatement case to defend academic freedom 
 .\n\nThe Cultural Genocide Conference is co-sponsored by the Mendocino 
 College American Indian Alliance Club, and Veterans for Peace Chapter 116.  
 Admission is free.  Supporters can send tax-deductible contributions toward 
 Ward Churchill’s speaking fee and other Conference expenses to: Veterans 
 for Peace Chapter 116, c/o Barbara and John Stephens-Lewallen, P.O. Box 
 455, Philo, CA 95466.\n
