"Steven P. McNicoll" writes: Why shouldn't his tenure status be reviewed? Because he is simply expressing an unpopular opinion. More likely that he will be fired for various forms of fraud such as claiming to be an Indian on his employment application. From: http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096410347 "Reaction to Churchill in Indian country has been quite the opposite. Two founders of AIM, Dennis Banks and Clyde Bellecourt - for decades, bitter critics of Churchill - released a statement denouncing him and his 9/11 essay in the name of the AIM Grand Governing Council. According to the Feb. 3 statement, AIM ''is vehemently and emphatically repudiating and condemning the outrageous statements made by academic literary and Indian fraud Ward Churchill in relationship to the 9/11 tragedy in New York City that claimed thousands of innocent peoples' lives.'' The statement read: ''Ward Churchill has been masquerading as an Indian for years behind his dark glasses and beaded headband ... He has deceitfully and treacherously fooled innocent and naive Indian community members in Denver, Colorado as well as many other people worldwide. Churchill does not represent, nor does he speak on behalf of, the American Indian.'' The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee in Oklahoma repudiated Churchill's one claim to tribal affiliation, an honorary associate membership issued by a former chief in 1993. Chief George G. Wickliffe said the Band ''has no association with Churchill in any capacity whatsoever and considers his comments offensive,'' adding that his essay ''does not in any way reflect the true compassion for the victims of the World Trade Center and their families that is felt by the United Keetoowah Band.''" |
