What a complete disregard to the value of the Drum. To quote a popular title to a book I read once, "In the Absense of the Sacred". This typifies this sentiment.
Go to the A.I.M. website to find out what REAL Native Americans think of him. Churchill is a wannabe of the worst kind. How anyone could ever take this idiot seriously is beyond me.
It is High time Native American Indian regardless of what Tribe need to move out of reservation and into the mainstream and revive agriculture. I am from India , i want to study more about Native American culture and herbal medicine like here to bring closer to cultures.
Native Americans prefer to be called just that "Native Americans" not Indians. Indians are from India, not America. I myself am Native American, he's only 1/16 Native American.
I don't know if the 1/16 thing is the case or not. However, what I do know is that a lot of people with very little native blood are a whole lot more Indian than some fullbloods. Why is this? Because your ethnicity, your culture, is not an ascribed identity. It is something you are because you live as one, and because you identify as one.
Ward Churchill damned better well not 'ascribe' any French-Irish identity to himself. And I would not be so quick to let this loser take over any Indian identity either. He's an unrepentant thug - and I don't think ANY Indian tribe deserves him glomming onto to their identities for the purpose of squiming his fake way into a job and then into student's minds (and probably, pants). His academic credentials were also forged, btw. He's a complete fraud.
As for the Native American vs. Indian thing, the two are interchangeable and while you may prefer one over the other, that's not the case for all indigenous people. I know many Lakota Sioux men and women who are perfectly happy to call themselves Indian.
Native- yes. My father says that the story handed down is that america was not the name for this country. The white man came up with that. All native peoples called this place HOME.So no I'm not Native america. This native is home.
bull crap. No way this guy was raised as an indian. Never once heard him say he was in a boarding school.living on a rez,starving,homeless. The guidelines he claiming indian under no longer exist.This guy is a fraud. Call the Keetoowah Nation. NO HE IS NOT A MEMBER! No Nation is greater than the Cherokee Nation.
he's lower than a wannabe. No nation is greater than the Cherokee Nation. That nation say's that this idiot is not a memeber. His claim to being indian falls under tha old government standards which say's that if someone claims, passes himself off as indian then the government will call him indian. This guy is a fraud.
Hi, I'm a Puyallup. Less than a Cherokee according to you I suppose, but I agree that the fuck's a fraud. Don't blame the Tribes for putting up with his nonsense, though: when you're shat upon as much as we are, it's any port in a storm regardless of how self-serving.
My Dear Friend all Native Indians are true son of the soil of America, in fact rest of the world don't know u all still live in reservation then on traditional land its hight time Native American get to go back and renew cattle herding and agriculture

With a name like Singh, what the fuck do you know?
Your towel is wrapped around your head too tightly.
Go educate yourself about North American history.
The so-called natives came from Mongolia and there is not one shred of evidence that they were here first. On the contrary, there is proof that the white man (and perhaps another race) were in North America before the Indians.

Name one other race that has to prove they are what they are.
He is an Indian because he was raised as an Indian and because he has identified and lived as an Indian since he was a child.
